WORKSHOP INFORMATION
--------------------
June 26-28, 1995
University of Zurich
Irchel Campus
Zurich, Switzerland
Building 21
Purpose
-------
Automatic face and gesture recognition has rapidly developed into a highly
active field of research with application potentials in areas such as
contactless man-machine interaction, access control, automatic search in
visual databases, and very low bit-rate compression. This International
Workshop is focussing on image- and video-based face recognition, facial
expression recognition, and hand gesture and body movement analysis. Topics
of special interest include: 3D data acquisition, segmentation, modeling, and
invariance to illumination and geometrical transformations.
This Work-shop is an ideal forum for identifying, encouraging and exchanging
ideas on research and development as well as on new applications of automated
face- and gesture-recognition.
The Workshop is supported by IEEE Computer Society, Swiss Informaticians
Society (SI), Swiss Computer Graphics Association (SCGA), Union Bank of
Switzerland (UBILAB), Orell Fuessli Security Printing, Ltd, Bauer
Systemtechnik AG, Siemens-Albis AG, Cerberus AG, and Liechti AG.
Program overview
----------------
The call for participation to IWAFGR95 has had an unexpectedly high success.
More than 80 papers have been received and reviewed by international experts.
A total of 31 contributions of very high quality have been selected for oral
presentation at IWAFGR95. Another 29 high quality papers have been selected
for poster presentation. These contributions give an outstanding overview of
current research and state-of-the-art techniques in face- and gesture-
recognition.
