AIMS AND SCOPE

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

Human-centered data are extremely widespread and have been intensely
investigated by researchers belonging to even very different fields,
including Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Artificial
Intelligence. These research efforts are motivated by the several
highly-informative aspects of humans that can be investigated, ranging
from corporal elements (e.g. bodies, faces, hands, anthropometric
measurements) to emotions and outward appearance (e.g. human garments
and accessories).

The huge amount and the extreme variety of this kind of data make the
analysis and the use of learning approaches extremely challenging. In
this context, several interesting problems can be addressed, such as
the reliable detection and tracking of people, the estimation of the
body pose, the development of new human-computer interaction paradigms
based on expression and sentiment analysis.

Furthermore, considering the crucial impact of human-centered
technologies in many industrial application domains, the demand for
accurate models able also to run on mobile and embedded solutions is
constantly increasing. For instance, the analysis and manipulation of
garments and accessories worn by people can play a crucial role in the
fashion business. Also, the human pose estimation can be used to
monitor and guarantee the safety between workers and industrial
robotic arms.

The goal of this workshop is to improve the communication between
researchers and companies and to develop novel ideas that can shape
the future of this area, in terms of motivations, methodologies,
prospective trends, and potential industrial applications. Finally, a
consideration about the privacy issues behind the acquisition and the
use of human-centered data must be addressed for both the academia and
companies.

IMPORTANT DATES

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

    Paper Submission Deadline: July 10th, 2022 (11.59 p.m. AoE)

    Decision to Authors: August 10th, 2022

    Camera ready papers due: August 22nd, 2022



SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

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

All the papers should be submitted at:
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/WCPA2022

All papers will be reviewed by at least two reviewers with
double-blind peer-review policy. Accepted submissions will be
published in the ECCV 2022 Workshops proceedings.

Papers must be prepared according to the ECCV guidelines. Papers are
limited to 14 pages, including figures and tables, in the ECCV
style. Additional pages containing only cited references are allowed.

Papers that are not properly anonymized, or do not use the template,
or have more than 14 pages (excluding references) will be rejected
without review.

Note also that the template has changed since ECCV 2020. We therefore
strongly urge authors to use this new template instead of templates
from older conferences.


WORKSHOP MODALITY

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

The workshop will be held in conjunction with the European Conference
on Computer Vision (ECCV 2022). The workshop will take place in an
entirely virtual mode.
