Vision-based motion analysis aims to detect, track and identify objects,
and more generally, to understand their behaviors, from video sequences.
This exciting research area has received growing interest in recent
years due to a wide spectrum of proposing applications such as visual
surveillance, human-machine interface, virtual reality, and motion
analysis. Statistical machine learning algorithms have been recently
successfully applied to address challenging problems involved in this
area. Novel statistical learning technologies have strong potential to
contribute to the development of robust yet flexible vision systems. The
process of improving the performance of vision systems has also brought
new challenges to the field of machine learning. Solving the problems
involved in object motion analysis will lead to the development of new
machine learning algorithms. In return, new machine learning algorithms
are able to address more realistic problems in object motion analysis
and understanding.

This one-day workshop seeks to present and highlight the latest
developments in vision-based object motion analysis and understanding
from a machine learning perspective. It aims to bring together worldwide
researchers from related disciplines, to provide a forum for the
dissemination of significant research work and innovative practice, and
to encourage exchanges, interactions and possible collaboration between
participants.
