IEEE Workshop on Vision for Human-Computer Interaction (V4HCI) http://www.delphi.com/news/call_papers/cvpr2005 and Special Issue of Computer Vision and Image Understanding Journal (CVIU) http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~matz/CVIU_CFP.html in conjunction with IEEE CVPR 2005 San Diego, CA June 20 - June 26, 2005 Workshop date: June 21, 2005 Aims and Scope Computer vision as an implementation technology for human-computer interfaces is rapidly gaining importance for industrial, military, and consumer markets. From surveillance applications and computer games to wearable devices, vision-based interfaces have countless applications and promise to revolutionize the way we communicate with computers. However, pervasiveness of computer vision methods in the field is often hindered by the lack of real-time, robust algorithms, as well as space- and power-efficient ways to implement them in the often restricted hardware components. This Workshop will be an opportunity for researchers and practitioners in the fields of Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to present their algorithms and applications, learn about what others are doing, and together identify new challenges. We seek to attract contributions from a wide range of theoretical and application areas. In doing so, we hope to facilitate discussions that will help us identify the VISION for HCI. Relevant topics for the Workshop include (but are not limited to): * Affective computing * Computer vision on embedded processors * Database for training and testing * Event detection and recognition * Facial expression recognition * Human motion and gesture recognition * Implementation of RT algorithms on special hardware * Learning in HCI * Medical Applications * Multimodal interface and integration * Perceptual user interface * Sign language analysis and recognition * User, context, and task modeling * Vision-based game interfaces * Brain-computer interface * Haptic interface Survey papers are welcome. Authors interested in submitting a survey article may want to contact the program organizers prior to submission. The authors of the best submissions will be invited to extend their workshop papers for publication in a Special Issue of the Computer Vision and Image Understanding Journal. Important Dates Paper submission February 21, 2005 Reviews due March 21, 2005 Notification to the authors March 25, 2005 Receipt of camera ready copy April 4, 2005 Workshop June 21, 2005 CVIU Special Issue submission September 5, 2005 Paper Preparation Only original manuscripts will be considered. The papers must be submitted in PDF format. The CVPR 2005 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. Neither are articles describing the same approach and similar results. 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 double-blind by the members of the Program Committee. Best Paper Award A best workshop paper award will be presented by the workshop sponsor, Delphi Corporation (www.delphi.com). Registration and Attendance Participation in the workshop without submitting a paper is welcomed. Registration fees are included in the CVPR registration. Keynote Speaker The Keynote Speaker will be Dr. Richard Marks, Special Projects Manager at Sony Computer Entertainment America. After a PhD from Stanford, Dr. Marks eventually joined Sony where he manages the man-machine interface and physical simulation research. He is credited with creating the technology for PlayStation2's EyeToy, probably the most popular vision-based human-computer interface with over 4 million units shipped. EyeToy uses a camera to project the player's body movements right into the game. Currently, Dr. Marks develops technology for the next-generation PlayStation which promises to include much more extensive support for vision-based interfaces. Program Chairs Thomas S.
