 CALL FOR PAPERS
 
 SPECIAL SESSION ON "APPLICATIONS OF CV TECHNIQUES FOR HCI SYSTEMS"
 
 A key advantage of computer vision-based interfaces over the classical
 ones is their transparency from user's perspective.  That's it, vision
 enable computers to perceive the user, to track his movements and
 actions. Despite recent developments in computer vision techniques and
 applications, there is still a long way until our environments will be
 filled with 'smart devices', that will respond at our demands and
 intentions.  The purpose of the current special session is to offer a
 meeting opportunity for researchers in different applications areas to
 interact and exchange ideas so that the concepts presented here can be
 transfered from one application area to another. 
 
 This special session is intended to cover, but it is not limited to, the
 following topics:
 - face localization
 - gaze and head orientation detection
 - facial expression recognition
 - human presence detection
 - human motion and gesture recognition
 - activity interpretation
 - multimodal and perceptual user interfaces
 - vision-based sensor fusion
 - scene modeling and understanding
 
 Prospective authors are invited to submit a paper (no longer than 6
 pages) on any of the above (or related) topics. Authors are highly
 encouraged to submit electronically a PS or PDF file manuscript (for
 large files, a compressed version is recomended) to the special session
 organizer:
 
 Bogdan Raducanu ( mailto:b.m.raducanu@tue.nl )
 
 Alternatively, authors may submit a hardcopy version of the manuscript
 to the following address:
