Second Workshop on Face Processing in Video (FPiV'05)

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
May 9-12, 2005

http://www.visioninterface.net/fpiv05

Joint conferences:
=================
Canadian conferences on Artificial Intelligence / Graphics Interface /
Computer
& Robot Vision (AI/GI/CRV'05).

Important dates:
================
January 21, 2005 - Full Paper Submission
February 14, 2005 - Notification to acceptance
March 7th, 2005 - Final camera ready paper (to appear in Proceedings)

Aims:
=====
Following the rapid development of the video-based technologies and the
success
of the First Workshop on Face Processing in Video (FPiV'04) which was held
in
Washington, DC, jointly with CVPR'04, the Second Workshop on Face Processing
in
Video (FpiV'05) will be held in 2005 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
This
time it will be held under the umbrella of CRV'2005 - the Canadian
Conference on
Computer & Robot Vision (formerly Vision Interface), which is the oldest
international conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition annually
held in Canada.

As many of its predecessors, CRV'05 will be held jointly with AI 2005 and GI
2005: (Canadian conferences on Artificial Intelligence / Graphics
Interface).
The FPiV'05 workshop attendees will have therefore opportunity to attend all
three conferences.

The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for scientists from different
backgrounds: biological vision, computer vision, pattern recognition,
machine
learning, computer-human interaction - to share their experiences and
discuss
the problems in the area of Face Processing in Video, and, as a result, to
produce a collection of high-quality papers addressing these problems.

Topics:
=======
The suggested research areas are listed below (from theory-driven to
application-driven one). Other topics dealing with the face in video
scenario
are also welcome.

? neurobiological and neuro-computational approaches to visual perception
and recognition
? synergy between biological and computer vision
? face segmentation and detection in video
? face tracking and multiple faces tracking
? face memorization, classification recognition from video
? facial biometrics and face modeling, 3d face models
? facial features for tracking and recognition
? face representation, canonical face models, face in video databases
? face synthesis, mimicking and animation
? facial expression recognition and classification, and representation
? fusing different modalities of video information (motion, colour,
intensity)
? performance evaluation for face in video problems
? face detection/tracking/recognition in multi-camera setups including
stereo
? face detection/tracking/recognition in panoramic video
? combining video and audio for speaker face detection/tracking/recognition
? face-based multi-media, games, and computer-human interaction
? perceptual face-controlled interfaces
? face processing for video-conferencing
? face processing for avatars and computer-generated communication programs
? face processing for immersive and collaborative environments
? face processing for industry for disabled
? face processing for augmented and virtualized reality
? face processing for security and surveillance
? face processing for encoding and annotating video

Workshop proceedings:
=====================
The papers accepted for the workshop will be published by IEEE as part of
the
CRV'05 Proceedings and will be archived into the IEEE digital libraries.

Submission and reviewing procedure:
===================================
Papers should be full-size and complete, eight double-column pages maximum.
They
should not include any information that would indicate the author's identity
(references to authors' previous work should be left blank).

Papers should be formatted using the IEEE paper submission guidelines
described
in the Author Instructions page and submitted by email as PDF file (1.5Mb
maximum) to the Program Chair (mailto:fpiv05ATvisioninterface.net, replace
"AT"
with "@").

Reviewing will be blind. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three
Program
Committee members. The goal is to have as vigorous and fair reviewing of all
papers as possible.

Program Chairs:
==============
Dmitry O. Gorodnichy, IIT-ITI, NRC-CNRC, Canada
Email: fpiv05ATvisioninterface.net (replace "AT" with "@")

Aleix M. Martinez, Ohio State U., USA
Email: fpiv05.chairATvisioninterface.net (replace "AT" with "@")

Confirmed Program Committee members:
=====================================
Marian S. Barlett, I. for Neural Computation, UCSB, USA
Rama Chellappa, UMD, USA
Roberto Cipolla, U. of Cambridge, UK
Ralf Gross, CMU, USA
Laurent Itti, U. of Southern California, USA
Anil Jain, Michigan State U.
Ioannis A. Kakadiaris, U. of Houston, USA
Stan Z. Li, Microsoft Research, China
Michael J. Lyons, ATR, Japan
Jonathon Phillips, NIST, USA
Matthew Turk, UCSB, USA
Lijun Yin, SUNY at Binghamton, USA

Registration and attendance:
============================
- Participation in the FPiV'05 workshop without submitting a paper is
welcomed.
- For a single registration fee, the workshop participants will also be able
to
attend the joint conferences.
- Conversely, the FPiV'05 Workshop is open to all AI/GI/CRV'2005 attendees.

Venue:
======
Vancouver island, where the city of Victoria is situated, is one of the most
spectacular places in Canada, while Victoria, one of the oldest cities in
Canada, is considered to be one of the Canadian gems. The workshop and joint
conferences will be held on campus of the University of Victoria.
