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. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: February 22, 2004 Papers distributed for review: February 25, 2004 Reviews due: March 21, 2004 Notification to the authors: March 25, 2004 Receipt of camera ready copy: April 4, 2004 Workshop: TBD (June 27, 28, or July 2, 2004) 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).
