Workshop details: 1st IEEE Workshop on Consumer Depth Cameras for Computer Vision http://www.vision.ee.ethz.ch/CDC4CV/ Date: November 12, 2011 Paper deadline: July 15, 2011 Call for papers: We invite you to participate in the 1st Consumer Depth Cameras for Computer Vision Workshop (CDC4CV) which will be held in conjunction with ICCV 2011 in Barcelona, Spain. Depth cameras and range scanners have been used in robotics and computer vision, however, the price of the devices has limited the number of applications. With the introduction of affordable depth cameras like Microsoft's Kinect, a consumer product that is available to everyone, we will very probably see novel innovations in this field and an explosion of vision applications across a range of domains such as robotics and HCI. The workshop aims to provide an interactive platform for researchers to disseminate their most recent research results and to discuss major problems and the potential impact of consumer depth cameras for applications and research. The workshop is expected to bring together researchers from multiple fields and perspectives and, in particular, to attract researchers that have been working with 3D capturing devices for years and researchers that explore depth cameras for the first time. We plan to put special emphasis on live demos and publicly available source code. This workshop calls for original, high-quality paper submissions on the following topics of interest, but not limited to: * Object recognition and detection * Segmentation and grouping * Scene understanding * Tracking * Human-computer interaction * Face and gesture analysis * 3D reconstruction * Augmented reality * Sensor fusion * Surveillance and monitoring * Mapping, localization and SLAM * Robotic manipulation and human-robot interaction * Industrial applications Prospective authors are invited to submit a six-page paper (ICCV format) via the workshop web-page. The papers will be reviewed by an international Program Committee. Accepted papers will be presented in single-track oral sessions as well as a poster session (all papers are allocated the same number of pages). Accepted papers will be published on the DVD included in the main conference proceedings.
