Smart sensors in doors or in public areas ubiquitously control our environment and let us pass effortlessly in and out of buildings or monitor available spaces e.g. for cars. Novel photonics sensors call for new solutions in automated area surveillance. High-resolution cameras or 3D imaging sensors provide the means to shift from pure object detection to higher-level depth perception, motion direction analysis, user monitoring and user identification. With increased computation power of single board computers, it is now possible to employ modern approaches for evaluation of 3D scenes. The Workshop aims at providing an overview on the present state of image analysis technology, stressing 3D object recognition using 3D image sensors. We will focus on challenges and perspectives of present and future applications.
