The 2nd workshop on face and facial expression recognition Call for Papers

The 2nd workshop on face and facial expression recognition
(FFER 2016) from real world videos in conjunction with

ICPR 2016, Cancun, Mexico, Dec. 4th 2016

The face plays a key role in many real-world applications such as
security systems, human computer interaction, remote monitoring of
patients, video annotation, and gaming. Having detected the face,
pattern recognition techniques and machine learning algorithms are
applied to facial images, for example, to find the identity of a
subject or analyze her/his emotional status. Though face and facial
expression recognition in still images and in ideal imaging conditions
have been around for many years, they have been less explored in video
sequences in uncontrolled imagining conditions. Developing face and
facial expression recognition algorithms for real-world scenarios, for
instance, for remote patient monitoring or for identification in
surveillance videos are still challenging tasks. The purpose of this
workshop is to bring together researchers who are working on
developing face and facial expression recognition systems that involve
non-ideal conditions, like those that might be present in a video. We
welcome research papers focusing on the following (and similar)
topics:

--Video face recognition

--Video facial expression recognition

--Face and facial expression recognition from facial dynamics

--Multi-face clustering from video

--Deep learning based facial analysis systems

--3D face modeling from video

--Multimodal face and facial expression recognition

--Applications of video face recognition

--Applications of video facial expression recognition
