1st CALL FOR PAPERS International Conference of Computer Vision 1999 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.
