Call for Papers

First IEEE Workshop on Face Processing in Video=20
(FPIV'04)
=20
in conjunction with

IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern =
Recognition=20
(CVPR'04)
=20
Washington, D.C.
June 26- June 27, 2004

Aims and scope
=20
Face processing is an area of research dedicated to the extraction and=20
manipulation of information about human faces. It deals with such =
problems
as=20
face detection, tracking, recognition, coding, etc. as well as their=20
applications.
=20
Video is becoming ubiquitous and very affordable, and there is growing
demand on=20
vision-based human-oriented applications, ranging from security and =
industry
for=20
disabled to computer-human interaction and video annotation. Therefore, =
more
and=20
more research effort is being put on face processing in video, which is =
very

different from face processing in still imaginary in terms of the =
nature of
data=20
processed.=20
=20
On one hand, because of real-time, bandwidth and environmental =
constraints,=20
video images are of rather modest resolution and quality, as compared =
to=20
photo-images. On the other hand, such a seeming deficiency of video is=20
compensated by the abundance of images due to the dynamic nature of =
video.
Video=20
processing and understanding also has many parallels with biological =
vision,

which provides additional insights and solutions to the problem.
=20
Therefore, it is important to develop approaches other than those =
developed
for=20
still imagery which would make use of the advantages of video for face=20
processing. With this goal in mind, the FPIV'04 workshop is aimed at
providing a=20
forum for scientists from different backgrounds: biological vision, =
computer

vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, HCI, etc. - to share =
their=20
experiences and discuss the problems, solutions and applications of =
Face=20
Processing in Video.
=20
The workshop will consist of one day of oral presentations and a talk =
from
an=20
invited speaker on a synergy of biological and computer vision.
=20
=20
Paper submission
=20
Although any paper analyzing video for the presence of information =
about
faces=20
may be submitted, the preference will be given to those papers which =
clearly

indicate in the abstract a) the research areas of the paper and b) what =
the=20
paper contributions are. Application-oriented papers are as much =
welcome as=20
theoretical papers.
=20
The suggested research areas are listed below, but other topics dealing =
with
the=20
face in video scenario are welcome.
=20
            neurobiological and neurocomputational approaches to visual
perception and recognition
            synergy between biological and computer vision
            face segmentation and detection in video
            face tracking and multiple faces tracking
            face memorization, classification recognition from video
            face biometrics and face modeling, 3d face models
            facial features for tracking and recognition
            face representation, canonical face models, face in video
databases=20
            face synthesis and mimicking=20
            facial expression recognition and classification, and
representation
            fusing different modalities of video information (motion,
colour, intensity)
            performance evaluation for face in video problems
            face detection/tracking/recognition in multicamera setups
including stereo
            face detection/tracking/recognition in panoramic video
            combining video and audio for speaker face
detection/tracking/recognition
            face-based multi-media, games, and computer-human =
interaction=20
            perceptual face-controlled interfaces
            face processing for video-conferencing
            face processing for avatars and computer-generated =
communication
programs
            face processing for immersive and collaborative =
environments
            face processing for industry for disabled=20
            face processing for augmented and virtualized reality
            face processing for security and surveillance=20
            face processing for encoding and annotating video=20
=20
Papers should not exceed 6 double-column pages. Only original =
manuscripts
will=20
be considered. Dual submission with CVPR is not permitted.  Instead, if =
a=20
relevant paper on object tracking, recognition etc has been submitted =
to
CVPR, a=20
related, but focused on the face as of an object of interest and video =
as of
a=20
media can be submitted to the workshop.  This policy is intended to
encourage=20
participation from authors whose papers are accepted in CVPR as well as
those=20
that are not.
=20
Reviewing will be blind circular.  By submitting a paper, each author =
agrees
to=20
review at least 3 other submissions.  This procedure has produced =
quality,=20
useful reviews in previous CVPR workshops.  As reviewers, authors must
comply=20
with the reviewing schedule below.  In addition, each paper will be =
reviewed
by=20
the program committee.  Given the exploratory nature of the workshop,
reviews=20
will emphasize the novelty of the ideas and clarity of presentation.
=20
The paper must not include any information that would indicate the =
author's=20
identity (references to authors' previous work should be left blank).
Papers=20
must be submitted in the same format as for CVPR and submitted as pdf =
files,
by=20
emailing to the Program Chair. =20
In an email accompanying the paper, authors should supply=20
1) the title of the paper
2) keywords relating to the paper,=20
3) the names and affiliations of the authors=20
4) (!) areas of expertise of the authors (for circular reviewing), and
5) the name of the contact author
