IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology

Event analysis in videos is a critical task in many applications. Activity recognition that aims to recognize actions from video and in particular abnormal event recognition in surveillance video has received significant attention from the research community. In this special issue, we focus on event analysis in broad problem domains. Event recognition in specific domains, such as highlight detection in sports videos, has attracted much interest in the past decade. Recently, due to the emergence of online video search, the research community has become interested in event content analysis for both broadcast and user-generated videos. For news videos, Large-Scale Concept Ontology for Multimedia (LSCOM) has defined 56 event/activity concepts, covering a broad range of events such as airplane flying, car crash, riot, people marching, and so on. Researchers have also started to investigate event recognition from other video sources, such as education videos and medical videos. For these applications, we have witnessed the effectiveness of using both static and temporal information.
