======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS 6th IEEE International Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction: Real-time vision aspects of natural user interfaces November 7, 2011, Barcelona, Spain, in conjunction with ICCV 2011. http://disi.unitn.it/~sebe/HCI2011/ ======================================================= Selected workshop papers will be considered for a special issue of: International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV). ======================================================= ----------------------------------------------- Important dates: ----------------------------------------------- Paper submission: July 7, 2011 Notification: August 25, 2011 Camera ready copy: September 11, 2011 HCI2011 date: November 7, 2011 ICCV dates: November 8-11, 2011 THE WEBSITE IS NOW OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/WHCI2011/ ----------------------------------------------- Description: ----------------------------------------------- Papers describing high-quality original research in various areas of human-computer interaction are welcome. In light of the recent introduction of natural user interfaces as part of various consumer products, the intention is to give this year workshop a special focus on practical issues of designing HCI systems. Therefore, submissions related to the following topics will be particularly encouraged: Robustness: • vision algorithms robust to light, occlusions, view point, etc. • increasing robustness by combining different sensors (e.g. multiple cameras, depth, infrared, inertial, audio) • evaluation and comparison of algorithms and systems Real-time implementation: • efficient algorithms and implementation • implementation on embedded platforms: field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable digital signal processors (DSPs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and various kinds of heterogeneous multiprocessor devices, etc. • performance analysis and comparison (e.g. latency, system power consumption, wireless and other device communication issues) Other practical issues: • automatic adaptation to the user and environment (e.g. on-line learning, auto calibration) • design, performance analysis and comparison of human-computer interaction systems (Wizard of Oz and real-system HCI user studies) • novel applications and standardization Demos are also welcome. Please contact the organizers at: zoran.z.zivkovic@gmail.com The workshop will close with a panel discussion including a number of leading industry figures. The latest information will be posted at the workshop website. ----------------------------------------------- Organizers: ----------------------------------------------- Zoran Zivkovic, Trident Microsystems Branislav Kisacanin, Texas Instruments Nicu Sebe, University of Trento Hamid Aghajan, Stanford University and Gent University ----------------------------------------------- Program Committee: ----------------------------------------------- Louis-Philippe Morency, University of Southern California Maja Pantic, Imperial College London Ioannis Patras, Queen Mary University Vladimir Pavlovic, Rutgers University James Crowley, INRIA Rhones Alpes Fernando De la Torre, CMU Emile Hendriks, TU Delft Dong-Ik Ko, Texas Instruments Roman Staszewski, Texas Instruments Mainak Sen, Cisco Massimo Zancanaro, FBK Daniel Gatica-Perez, IDIAP Federico Castanedo, Univ. of Carlos III Ben Krose, University of Amsterdam Erwin Bellers, Trident Microsystems Chen Wu, Google Henk Luinge, XSense Ronald Poppe, University of Twente Peter de With, Tech.
