IEEE Workshop on Vision for Human-Computer Interaction (V4HCI)

and
Special Issue of Computer Vision and Image Understanding Journal (CVIU)
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~matz/CVIU_CFP.html
in conjunction with IEEE CVPR 2005
San Diego, CA
June 20 - June 26, 2005
Workshop date: June 21, 2005
Aims and Scope
Computer vision as an implementation technology for human-computer
interfaces is rapidly gaining importance for industrial, military, and
consumer markets. From surveillance applications and computer games to
wearable devices, vision-based interfaces have countless applications
and promise to revolutionize the way we communicate with computers.
However, pervasiveness of computer vision methods in the field is often
hindered by the lack of real-time, robust algorithms, as well as space-
and power-efficient ways to implement them in the often restricted
hardware components.
This Workshop will be an opportunity for researchers and practitioners
in the fields of Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to present their algorithms and
applications, learn about what others are doing, and together identify
new challenges. We seek to attract contributions from a wide range of
theoretical and application areas. In doing so, we hope to facilitate
discussions that will help us identify the VISION for HCI.
Relevant topics for the Workshop include (but are not limited to):
* Affective computing
* Computer vision on embedded processors
* Database for training and testing
* Event detection and recognition
* Facial expression recognition
* Human motion and gesture recognition
* Implementation of RT algorithms on special hardware
* Learning in HCI
* Medical Applications
* Multimodal interface and integration
* Perceptual user interface
* Sign language analysis and recognition
* User, context, and task modeling
* Vision-based game interfaces
* Brain-computer interface
* Haptic interface
Survey papers are welcome. Authors interested in submitting a survey
article may want to contact the program organizers prior to submission.
The authors of the best submissions will be invited to extend their
workshop papers for publication in a Special Issue of the Computer
Vision and Image Understanding Journal.

Reviews due March 21, 2005
Notification to the authors March 25, 2005
Receipt of camera ready copy April 4, 2005
Workshop June 21, 2005
CVIU Special Issue submission September 5, 2005
Paper Preparation
Only original manuscripts will be considered. The papers must be
submitted in PDF format. The CVPR 2005 Author Instructions contain
detailed guidelines about page limits, font sizes, and overall page
layout. We ask that you do not deviate from these guidelines since this
will be a cause for paper rejection without review.
The paper must not include any information that would indicate the
author's identity (even references to authors' previous work should be
left blank).
Paper Submission
Dual submission with CVPR is not permitted. Neither are articles
describing the same approach and similar results.
The submissions to the workshop will be handled electronically, by
e-mail to one of the Program Chairs (b.kisacanin AT ieee.org).
Every submitted paper will be assigned a submission number, which will
be e-mailed to the contact author. If you have not received your
submission number (meaning that your submission has not been received),
try to make your PDF file less than 2 MB. If you still experience a
problem, report it in an e-mail without the attachment.
In the e-mail accompanying the paper, authors should supply:
1. the title of the paper
2. keywords relating to the paper
3. the names and affiliations of the authors
4. areas of expertise of the authors (for circular reviewing)
5. the name of the contact author
Paper Review
Reviewing will be double-blind by the members of the Program Committee.
Best Paper Award
A best workshop paper award will be presented by the workshop sponsor,
Delphi Corporation (www.delphi.com).
Registration and Attendance
Participation in the workshop without submitting a paper is welcomed.
Registration fees are included in the CVPR registration.
Keynote Speaker
The Keynote Speaker will be Dr. Richard Marks, Special Projects Manager
at Sony Computer Entertainment America. After a PhD from Stanford, Dr.
Marks eventually joined Sony where he manages the man-machine interface
and physical simulation research. He is credited with creating the
technology for PlayStation2's EyeToy, probably the most popular
vision-based human-computer interface with over 4 million units shipped.
EyeToy uses a camera to project the player's body movements right into
the game. Currently, Dr. Marks develops technology for the
next-generation PlayStation which promises to include much more
extensive support for vision-based interfaces.
