WELCOME TO VisEdge 2019!

The VisEdge '19' workshop is scheduled on November 9, 2019 and will be held at Washington, D.C., USA.

This year VisEdge will be co-located with the Fourth ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC 2019).

Edge computing is the idea of moving the computing from the cloud closer to the sensing. There has also been a dramatic increase in cameras on mobile devices. This allows us to envision a several mobile vision applications such as object detection, activity recognition, localization, mapping, human-computer interaction and others. Cameras produce data and high rates and require heavy computational resources to enable these applications. Utilizing computing at the edge will be very advantageous for such applications. Benefits include increasing compute power, efficient use of battery, preserving the locality of computing and privacy of data. VisEdge '19 is a workshop that aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry working on visual sensing in mobile systems with particular focus on the use of Edge Computing architectures to improve visual sensing in such systems.

Particular topics of interest include:

• Novel computer vision applications at the Edge
• Adaptation of well-known computer vision algorithms to the Edge computing paradigm
• Privacy of visual data in applications using the Edge computing architecture
• Use of locality to improve cloud-based vision applications
• Intelligent offloading of computational tasks to the edge for computer vision applications
• Caching at the edge for vision applications
• Programming interfaces to enable edge-assisted vision applications
• Design of services to facilitate computer vision applications
• Novel applications enabled via visual sensing
