Call for Papers


In the past decades, facial image analysis has attracted continuous
attention in computer vision, pattern recognition and machine learning
areas, owing to its scientific challenges in both psychological
interpretation and computational simulation, as well as its huge potentials
in real-world applications. Much progress has been achieved in the last
decades; however, researchers in the field also meet bafflement and
challenges on the comprehensive and unbiased evaluation of the related
technologies, which may prevent them from discovering the actual state of
the art.

BeFIT -Benchmarking Facial Image Analysis Technologies- is an international
collaborative effort on standardizing the evaluation of facial image
analysis technologies. The objective is to bring together different face
analysis evaluations and provide a medium for researchers to discuss about
different aspects of face analysis. Sample categories are:

1.	Face Detection and Tracking 

*	Face Detection
*	Face Tracking

2.	Face Alignment 

*	Facial Feature Localization
*	Face Alignment

3.	Face Image Enhancement 

*	Super-resolution of Face Images
*	Image Quality Enhancement
*	Illumination Normalization
*	3D Face Reconstruction from 2D View(s)

4.	Face Recognition 

*	Open- / Close-set Face Identification / Watch List Screening
*	Face Verification / Face Re-Identification / Face Clustering
*	Video-based Face Recognition
*	High-resolution Face Recognition
*	3D Face Recognition

5.	Face Attributes Analysis 

*	Age Estimation
*	Gender Classification
*	Ethnicity Classification
*	Glasses, Mustache, Beard Detection

6.	Facial Expression Analysis 

*	Action Unit Detection
*	Emotion Classification

The workshop aims at encouraging researchers to run more standardized tests,
to share data and to propose new challenges related to face analysis. It is
of particular interest to have challenges with realistic data, containing
illumination and view variations. The workshop will accept following type of
paper submissions:

*	Face analysis papers as long as they follow a standard benchmark
process or the authors would share their own data that they have used for
their experiments.
*	Papers presenting new data sets and proposing new challenges.
*	Papers that discuss the usefulness or inability of existing
benchmarks.

For the first point, these benchmarks can be any that have been already used
by the community, such as FERET, FRGC, LFW, FDDB, etc.

Paper Formatting: Papers are limited to eight pages. Please use the
<http://www.iccv2011.org/paper-submission> ICCV author kit to format the
papers.

Blind review: Reviewing will be double blind. Please see the
<http://www.iccv2011.org/paper-submission> ICCV author kit for detailed
explanations of how to ensure this.

Submission: Through  <https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/BEFIT2011> BeFIT
Online Submission System
