IEEE International Workshop on modeling People and Human Interaction (PHI'05) Saturday, October 15, 2005, Beijing (in conjunction with ICCV). http://www.inrialpes.fr/movi/people/Ronfard/phi05.htm OVERVIEW This is the second workshop of a series on "Modeling People". This new edition is extended in scope to include models of Human ("Social") Interactions. Given the increasing capacity to acquire perceptual data with cameras and other sensors, and the number of applications, there is growing interest in several areas related to people modeling, ranging from the recognition of human dynamic behaviour, studied in both the computer vision and graphics communities, to the detection of human communication patterns in social settings, relevant to vision and other fields. The aim of this workshop is to provide a focus for computer vision research into the modelling and understanding of people, their actions, and their interactions with other people. The intention is to bring together leading researchers in vision, graphics, and cognitive sciences to assess the current state-of-the-art, identify known problems and generate ideas for future progress towards automatic modelling and interpretation of people's movements, actions, and interactions. Given the scope of ICCV, we expect the participation of computer vision researchers investigating these areas . However, given the multimodal nature of human interaction, we also encourage the participation of researchers in related fields (audio and speech, linguistics, behavioral science, and wearable computing) who can contribute their views. IMPORTANT DATES Submission of papers: 15 May 2005 Notification of acceptance: 15 July 2005 Submission of camera ready paper: 1st September 2005 Workshop: 15 October 2005 We invite manuscript submissions on the following topics: * Photo-realistic 3D modelling of people * Vision-based human motion capture * Kinematic, dynamic and statistical models of human motion * Human motion synthesis and retargeting of motion capture * Modeling human action for animation, recognition and imitation * Detecting people in images and videos * Recognition of non-verbal cues in conversations: expressions, body postures, and gestures. * Detection and tracking of focus-of-attention in conversations. * Analysis of speaker turn patterns. * Models that link language and non-verbal cues. * Recognition of social interaction patterns. * Analysis of the dynamic properties of social rapport. * Mining social networks from multi-sensor data SUBMISSIONS Paper submission and review will strictly follow the ICCV 2005 procedures. We welcome previously unpublished works in ICCV'05 format and up to eight-pages long. Review will be double-blind. Papers will be evaluated in terms of originality, relevance to the workshop, technical correctness, and clarity of presentation. Double submissions to the workshop and main conference will be accepted. This must be stated explicitly. Authors of double submissions must give permission to the workshop organizers to obtain the reviews from the main conference. All submissions should be sent by email to: Remi Ronfard, mailto:Remi.Ronfard@inrialpes.fr AND Daniel Gatica-Perez, mailto:gatica@idiap.ch Or via the web site.
