About the Special Issue

======================================

Intelligent devices, such as smart wearables, intelligent vehicles,
virtual assistants and robots, are progressively becoming widespread
in many aspects of our daily lives, where effective interaction is
increasingly desirable. In such applications, the more information
exchanged between the user and the system through multiple modalities,
the more versatile, efficient and natural the interaction
becomes. Currently, modern intelligent devices do not take into
account the user state sufficiently into consideration and thus suffer
from lack of personalization and low engagement. In particular,
interaction logs and verbal data alone are not adequate for genuinely
interpreting human behaviours, and therefore there has been a
significant effort to analyse human behaviours from video
data. Although significant progress has been made so far, there is
still much room for improvement in moving from controlled and acted
settings to real-world settings. The key aim of this Special Issue is
to bring together cutting-edge research and innovative computer vision
techniques applied to human behaviour analysis, from the recognition
of gestures and activities to the interpretation of these cues at a
higher level for predicting cognitive, social and emotional
states. Special issue topics include, but are not limited to:

    Unsupervised, semi-supervised and supervised learning-based approaches to human behaviour analysis
    Face, gesture and body analysis
    Activity recognition and anticipation
    Affect and emotion recognition
    Interactive behaviour analysis, including multiparty interaction, human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction
    Multimodal behaviour analysis, in particular, combining vision with other modalities (e.g., audio, vital signs) 
    Societal and ethical considerations of human behaviour analysis, including explainability, bias, fairness, privacy
    Real-time systems for human behaviour analysis on devices with limited on-board computational power
    Databases and open-source tools for human behaviour analysis
    Applications in education, healthcare, smart environments, autonomous driving, or any related field
