 	             Workshop on MODELLING PEOPLE (mPeople)
 
                 http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Research/VSSP/mPeople
  
                         Monday 20th September 1999
                                Corfu, Greece
 
 		      Deadline for submission: 14th May 1999
 
 The Modelling People Workshop (mPeople) will be held on the first day of
 ICCV'99 preceding the main conference events. Paper submissions are
 invited on all aspects of visual capture and modelling of a persons
 shape, appearance, movement, behaviour and interaction.
 
 Modelling people is an area which has attracted considerable interest
 in both the computer vision and graphics communities. The aim of this 
 workshop is to provide a focus for computer vision research into the 
 modelling and understanding of people and their motion. The intention
 is to bring together leading vision and graphics researchers to assess
 the current state-of-the-art, identify known problems and generate ideas
 for future progress towards automatic vision based modelling and
 interpretation of people.
 
 We invite manuscript submissions on the following topics:
 * Capturing whole-body shape and appearance
 * Photo-realistic 3D modelling of people
 * Accurate anthropometric modelling and measurement
 * Capture of whole-body kinematic structure
 * Human motion capture
 * Human motion synthesis and retargeting of motion capture
 * Behaviour interpretation
 * Interactive visual interfaces
 * Virtual humans and avatars
 * Humanoid Animation
 * Physics-based modelling of skin and clothing
 * Applications of human modelling
 
 Twelve papers will be selected by peer review for presentation 
 at the workshop.
