In the last decade, social media driven human-centered perceptual
understanding tasks such as face/body detection/tracking, facial
characteristic analysis (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, and expression),
face/gait based human identification, and from understanding simple hand
gesture to complex human body language, activity and behavior, have
attracted more and more research efforts from computational, psychological
and social communities. Building tractable models has significant
scientific and practical values. For example, human-computer interaction,
social media analytics, video indexing, visual surveillance, and Internet
vision are active application areas. To that end, researchers have made
substantial progresses, especially when off-the-shelf vision products are
available, e.g. Kinect. However, great challenges still remain in the
social media domain, especially under unconstrained imaging conditions from
diverse sources with non-cooperative users. This one-day workshop
(AMFG2013) will provide a focused international forum to bring together
researchers and research groups to review the status of recognition,
analysis and modeling of face, gesture, and body, to discuss the challenges
that we are facing, and to explore future directions particularly in the
unconstrained social environments, such as social media data in the cloud,
Facebook and YouTube applications. The workshop will consist of one to two
invited talks together with peer-reviewed regular papers (oral and poster).
Original high-quality papers are solicited on a wide range of topics
including

   - Internet-scale soft biometrics and profiling: age, gender, ethnicity,
   and kinship classification by facial and/or body descriptions;
   - Motion analysis, tracking and extraction of face and body models from
   image sequences captured by single, multiple cameras, or Kinect;
   - Detection and recognition of face and body in real-world unconstrained
   environments with large 3D rotation, illumination change, partial
   occlusion, unknown/changing background, and aging; especially large 3D
   rotation robust face and gesture recognition;
   - Face, gait, and action recognition in low-quality (blurred for
   instance), low-resolution video from fixed or mobile cameras;
   - Novel mathematical modeling and algorithms, sensors and modalities for
   face & body gesture/action representation, analysis and recognition for
   cross-domain social media;
   - Dynamics and learning for facial expression, gesture, action,
   activity, and body behavior interpretation;
   - Social/Psychological studies that can assist in understanding
   computational modeling and building better automated face and gesture
   systems for interaction purposes;
   - Novel social applications based on robust detection, tracking and
   recognition of face, body and action.
