Workshop on Human Interaction in Computer Vision 2011 (ICCV 2011,
Barcelona)

INFORMATION:

Social and industrial demands for Multimodal Interactive (MI)
technologies and advanced man-machine interfaces are increasing
dramatically. Computer Vision (CV) plays a highly relevant role of in
the development of these MI technologies and interfaces. However,
traditional CV technologies have mainly focused on full automation,
even though full automation often proves elusive or unnatural in many
applications, where technology is expected to assist rather than
replace human agents.
In the framework of the ICCV conference, this workshop focuses on
discussing the human interaction role in computer vision algorithms.
HICV attempts to analyze how existing CV technologies can naturally
take benefit from the development of advanced interactive systems.
The Interactive computer vision topic includes several research lines,
ranging from efficient data annotation, image segmentation,
applications to medical image analysis, semi-supervised learning and
other novel techniques involving Human-in-the-Loop Computer Vision.
Finally, this workshop pretends to identify the future challenges and
opportunities entailed by the human-interaction paradigm.
