IEEE Workshop on Real-Time Vision for Human-Computer Interaction 
                                (RTV4HCI)
             http://www.delphi.com/news/call_papers/cvpr2004/
                    in conjunction with IEEE CVPR 2004
 
                             Washington, DC 
                          June 27 - July 2, 2004
 
                Workshop date TBD: June 27, 28, or July 2
 
 AIMS AND SCOPE
    As computers become prevalent in many aspects of human lives, the
    need for natural and effective Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
    becomes more important than ever. Computer vision and pattern
    recognition remain to play an important role in the HCI field.
    However, pervasiveness of computer vision methods in the field is
    often hindered by the lack of real-time, robust algorithms as well as
    novel and convincing applications. 
 
    This RTV4HCI Workshop will be an opportunity for researchers and
    practitioners in the fields of computer vision, pattern recognition
    and HCI to present their real-time algorithms and applications, learn
    about what others are doing, and together identify new challenges. 
 
    Relevant topics for the Workshop include (but are certainly not
    limited to):
       * Affective computing
       * Database for training and testing
       * Event detection and recognition
       * Facial expression recognition
       * Human motion and gesture recognition
       * Learning in HCI
       * Medical Applications
       * Multimodal interface and integration
       * Perceptual user interface
       * Sign language analysis and recognition
       * User, context, and task modeling
    Emphasis on real-time aspects of your work is highly desirable.

 PAPER PREPARATION
    Only original manuscripts will be considered. The papers must be
    submitted in PDF format. The CVPR 2004 Author Instructions contain
    detailed guidelines about page limits, font sizes, and overall page
    layout. We ask that you do not deviate from these guidelines since
    this will be a cause for paper rejection without review. 
 
    The paper must not include any information that would indicate the
    author's identity (even references to authors' previous work should
    be left blank). 
 
 PAPER SUBMISSION
    Dual submission with CVPR is not permitted. Instead, if a relevant
    Human-Computer Interaction paper has been submitted to CVPR, a
    related paper that is focused on the Real-Time Vision can be
    submitted to the Workshop. This policy is intended to encourage
    participation from authors whose papers are accepted in CVPR as well
    as those that are not. 
 
    The submissions to the workshop will be handled electronically, by
    e-mail to one of the Program Chairs (b.kisacanin AT ieee.org). 
 
    Every submitted paper will be assigned a submission number, which
    will be e-mailed to the contact author. If you have not received your
    submission number (meaning that your submission has not been
    received), try to make your PDF file less than 2 MB. If you still
    experience a problem, report it in an e-mail without the attachment. 
 
    In the e-mail accompanying the paper, authors should supply:
      1. the title of the paper
      2. keywords relating to the paper
      3. the names and affiliations of the authors 
      4. areas of expertise of the authors (for circular reviewing)
      5. the name of the contact author
 
 PAPER REVIEW
    Reviewing will be blind circular. By submitting a paper, each author
    agrees to review at least 3 other submissions. As reviewers, authors
    must comply with the reviewing schedule below. In addition, each
    paper will be reviewed by the Program Committee. 
 
 BEST PAPER AWARD
    A best workshop paper award will be presented by the workshop
    sponsor, Delphi Corporation ( http://www.delphi.com ). 
 
 REGISTRATION AND ATTENDANCE
    Participation in the workshop without submitting a paper is welcomed.
    Registration fees and deadlines will be posted later (in April).
