Laval, Canada Maximilian Riesenhuber, Georgetown U., USA Matthew Turk, UCSB, USA Lijun Yin, SUNY at Binghamton, USA Aims and Layout: Following the rapid development of the video-based technologies and the success of the First Workshop on Face Processing in Video (FPiV'04) which was held in Washington, DC, jointly with CVPR'04, the Second Workshop on Face Processing in Video (FpiV'05) will be held in 2005 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. This time it will be held under the umbrella of CRV'2005 - the Canadian Conference on Computer & Robot Vision (formerly Vision Interface), which is the oldest international conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition annually held in Canada. As many of its predecessors, CRV'05 will be held jointly with AI 2005 and GI 2005: (Canadian conferences on Artificial Intelligence / Graphics Interface). The FPiV'05 workshop attendees will have therefore opportunity to attend all three conferences. The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for scientists from different backgrounds: biological vision, computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, computer-human interaction - to share their experiences and discuss the problems in the area of Face Processing in Video, and, as a result, to produce a collection of high-quility papers addressing these problems. Workshop proceedings. The papers accepted for the workshop will be published by IEEE as part of the CRV'05 Proceedings and will be archived into the IEEE digital libraries. Registration and attendance: - Participation in the FPiV'05 workshop without submitting a paper is welcomed. - For a single registration fee, the workshop particants will also be able to attend the joint conferences. - Conversely, the FPiV'05 Workshop is open to all AI/GI/CRV'2005 attendees. Submission: Any paper analyzing video for the presence of information about faces is welcomed for submission. However , the preference will be given to those papers which clearly indicate in the abstract a) what is a challenging problem the paper addresses and b) what the paper contributions are. Application-oriented papers are as much welcome as theoretical papers. The suggested research areas are listed below (from theory-driven to application-driven), but other topics dealing with the face in video scenario are welcome. neurobiological and neuro-computational approaches to visual perception and recognition synergy between biological and computer vision face segmentation and detection in video face tracking and multiple faces tracking face memorization, classification recognition from video face biometrics and face modeling, 3d face models facial features for tracking and recognition face representation, canonical face models, face in video databases face synthesis, mimicking and animation facial expression recognition and classification, and representation fusing different modalities of video information (motion, colour, intensity) performance evaluation for face in video problems face detection/tracking/recognition in multi-camera setups including stereo face detection/tracking/recognition in panoramic video combining video and audio for speaker face detection/tracking/recognition face-based multi-media, games, and computer-human interaction perceptual face-controlled interfaces face processing for video-conferencing face processing for avatars and computer-generated communication programs face processing for immersive and collaborative environments face processing for industry for disabled face processing for augmented and virtualized reality face processing for security and surveillance face processing for encoding and annotating video Submission and reviewing procedure: Papers should be full size and complete, eight double-column pages maximum. They should not include any information that would indicate the author's identity (references to authors' previous work should be left blank). Papers should be formatted using the IEEE paper submission guidelines described in the Author Instructions page and submitted by email as .pdf file to the Submissions Chair. Reviewing will be blind. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three Program Committee members. The goal is to have as vigorous and fair reviewing of all papers as possible. Venue: Vancouver island where the city of Victoria is situated, is one of the most spectacular places in Canada, while Victoria itself, one of the oldest cities in Canada, is considered to be one of the Canadian gems. The workshop and joint conferences will be held on the campus of the University of Victoria. ============================================================================ ================
