Face Detection and Facial Image Analysis Call for Papers

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute a chapter for our upcoming
volume entitled Advances in Face Detection and Facial Image Analysis
to be published by Springer, the largest global scientific, technical,
and medical ebook publisher. The volume will be available both in
print and in ebook format by late 2015 on SpringerLink, one of the
leading science portals that includes more than 8 million documents,
an ebook collection with more than 160,000 titles, journal archives
digitized back to the first issues in the 1840s, and more than 30,000
protocols and 290 reference works.

Below is a short description of the volume:

Face detection and recognition is an active research topic of computer
vision and pattern recognition. A number of novel methods in this
domain have emerged over the past decade. These methods have improved
the accuracy of face and facial landmark detection, thereby increasing
the number of human face analysis applications. New research
directions include in particular psychology-based facial dynamics
recognition, aimed at various applications such as behavior analysis,
deception detection, and diagnosis of various psychological disorders.

This volume is aimed at presenting the state-of-the-art in face
detection and analysis. Topics of interest include:

- Face and facial landmark detection
- Face recognition
- Facial expression and emotion analysis
- Deception detection
- Face liveness detection
- Facial dynamics analysis (preferably using high-speed cameras)
- Face classification, identification, and clustering
- Gaze direction and head pose estimation
- Applications of face analysis

Each contributed chapter is expected to present a novel research study, a comparative study, or a survey of the literature. There will be no publication fees for accepted chapters.
