=============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS CVPR 2011 International Workshop on Human Activity Understanding from 3D Data (HAU3D11) Colorado Springs, USA June 20, 2011 http://ictr.uow.edu.au/hau3d11/index.html SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 1, 2011 Recent advances in 3D depth cameras, 3D information recovery from 2D images/videos, and the availability of portable human motion capture devices have been nurturing a potential breakthrough solution to the problem of human activity understanding by using 3D data. This workshop is to bring together leading researchers in the related fields to advocate and promote a new research direction of human activity recognition using 3D data. The workshop aims to provide an interactive platform for researchers to disseminate their most recent research results, discuss rigorously and systematically potential solutions and challenges towards a robust human activity understanding using 3D data, and promote new collaborations among researchers. This workshop calls for original, high-quality paper submissions on the following key topics, but not limited to: • Acquisition of 3D data, including o multicamera systems (with markers or marker-less) o mocap devices and systems o depth cameras o active and passive 3D body scanning systems o 3D from 2D images/videos (including tracking & pose estimation) o benchmark datasets • Representation and feature descriptors, including o representation of 3D human body and articulation o representation of human body language o hybrid 3D and 2D representations o 3D feature descriptors o detection and tracking of 3D interest points • Learning and recognition, including o modelling of human motion and activity o cross-dataset learning and recognition o incremental and online learning o use of contextual constraints • Applications, including o sports analysis o synthesis and animation of 3D human motions o Human-Computer-Interface (HCI) and humanoid robotics o surveillance & monitoring o medical diagnosis, assessment and treatment (e.g. musculoskeletal disorders) All accepted papers will be included in the CVPR 2011 proceedings. Keynote Speakers: • Michael Black, Brown University, USA • David Hogg, University of Leeds, UK • Zhengyou Zhang, Microsoft Research, USA Important Dates: • Submission of full papers: Tuesday, March 1, 2011 • Notification of acceptance: Friday, April 8, 2011 • Camera ready copy: Friday, April 15, 2011 ----------------------------- HAU3D 2011 Organizing Committee Zhengyou Zhang, Wanqing Li, Adrian Hilton, Zicheng Liu and Philip Ogunbona
