Purpose:
Automatic face and gesture recognition has rapidly developed into a
highly active field of research with application potential in areas
such as contactless man-machine interaction, access control, automatic
search in visual databases, and very-low bit-rate compression and many
more. Consequently, this international conference series has been
created to provide an international forum for research on image- and
video-based face recognition, facial expression recognition, and hand
gesture and body movement analysis.
Contributions in the areas of analysis by synthesis techniques,
acquisition of articulated shape models, deformable models,
illumination invariant segmentation and recognition, analysis of face,
gesture and gait movements, model-based methods for shape and motion
estimation, feature identification, physics-based modelling,
contactless man-machine interfaces and interaction with virtual
worlds, very-low bit-rate encoding, face and person identification for
access control and other applications, as well as other related
topics will be presented.

Invitation for Demos:
(see http://vismod.www.media.mit.edu/events/fg96/)
You are invited to demonstrate your working face or gesture
recognition system at the Second International Conference On Automatic
Face & Gesture Recognition. We expect that this conference will be
attended by over 250 researchers from universities, government, and
industry from around the world. As at the conference last year in
Zurich, we expect that this will provide an excellent forum for anyone
seeking additional visibility or research funding.
To encourage your participation, we will provide demonstration space
free of charge on first come first serve basis, although we must
require that your personnel register for the conference. Although we
cannot provide equipment for all the demonstrations, in some cases we
may be able to provide partial equipment support.
We hope that you will be able to attend and demonstrate your system to
the international research community. If you plan to demonstrate a
system, please contact me so that we can arrange the equipment
details.

Invitation for Commercial Show
(see http://vismod.www.media.mit.edu/events/fg96/)
We would like to invite Industrial Organizations to participate in the
industrial section of the Second International Conference On Automatic
Face & Gesture Recognition. This conference will be attended by over
250 government, industrial, and university personnel from around the
world. As at the conference last year in Zurich, we expect that almost
half of the attendees will be from government and industry, and will
come with the goal of assessing the state-of-the-art for their
applications. Consequently, we believe that this conference will be a
fertile place for you to demonstrate and advertise your working,
commercial system.
To encourage your participation, we will provide demonstration space
free of charge on first come first serve basis, although we must
require that your personnel register for the conference. Details of
the conference are at the end of this message.
We hope that you will be able to attend and demonstrate your system to
the government, industrial, and research communities. If you can
attend, please contact me so that we can arrange the details of your
exhibit.
