=============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 2009 IEEE Int'l Workshop on CVPR for Human Communicative Behavior Analysis June 25, 2009 -- Miami, Florida, held in conjunction with CVPR-2009 http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~maja/cvpr4hb-09.html =============================================================================== THE WEBSITE IS NOW OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS A widely accepted prediction is that computing will move to the background, weaving itself into the fabric of our everyday living spaces and projecting the human user into the foreground. Due to this vision of the future, automated analysis of human behavior, including facial expression, hand and body gesture, and linguistic and nonlinguistic vocalization, have attracted increasing attention from Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence research communities. The CVPR4HB workshops are aimed towards bringing together scientists from a wide range of theoretical and application areas whose work impacts machine analysis of human communicative behavior. Its goal is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of paradigms and challenges in the research on machine analysis of human spontaneous behavior, including affective and social signaling. The 2nd CVPR4HB workshop will be held in Miami, Florida, held in conjunction with CVPR-2009. We seek to attract contributions representing the state-of-the-art efforts to develop algorithms that can process naturally occurring human affective and social communication and decode communicative intent. Relevant topics for the workshop include but are by no means limited to: • Human affect analysis and Affective computing • Social Signal Processing and Socially-aware computing • Facial expression analysis • Human gesture and action recognition • Multimodal human behavior analysis • Multimodal data fusion • Perceptual and multimodal user interfaces • Sign language analysis and recognition • Deception detection • Ambient intelligence • Databases for training and testing The program will be single track with posters.
