Following the previous successful Summer School in Dublin, the Second VideoSense Summer School on Ethically-guided and Privacy-respecting Video Analytics was held on 30 June 2013 at the DSP2013 conference, Santorini, Greece.
The VideoSense Summer School aimed at bringing together young researchers working in the field of privacy-respecting and ethnically-aware video analysis in security, offering:
- Lectures delivered by experts from academia and industry providing a clear and in-depth summary of state-of-the-art research in the field.
- An enjoyable and stimulating environment in which participants benefited not only from the formal and practical sessions but also from informal and social interactions with established researchers and the other participants in the School.
To further facilitate communication and feedback all attendees presented a poster on their research.
