CALL FOR PAPERS
After years of research on the analysis of individuals by automatic 
methods, the computer vision community has transferred its attention on 
the new issue of modeling gatherings of people, commonly referred as 
groups or crowds, depending on the number of people involved.
The aim of GROW 2015 is to bring together a wide range of researchers in 
computer vision and machine learning from one side, and applied social 
sciences on the other, to share innovative ideas and solutions for 
exploiting the potential synergies emerging from the integration of the 
two domains, for a range of different applications. For this reason, the 
invited speakers of the workshop will come from the computer science and 
from the social science domains, promoting an intriguing 
cross-fertilization among the two areas.

SCOPE
To address these challenges, contributions are particularly welcome in 
the following areas:

* Group/crowd detection
* Group/crowd tracking
* Tracking in the crowd
* Group/crowd modeling from a drone
* Egovision for group/crowd modeling
* Group/crowd behavior understanding and activity recognition
* Crowd counting
* Group profiling
* Information fusion for crowd modeling
* F-formation/free conversational groups recognition
* Jointly focused/commonly focused gathering recognition
* Causal, spectator, protest crowd recognition and modeling
* Abnormality detection in a group/crowd
* Group detection in a crowd
* Crowd forecasting
* Metrics for group and crowd modeling
* Video surveillance and sensor networks
* (Collective) Head orientation, gesture recognition in groups and crowd
* Groups and crowds datasets
