** 1st CALL FOR PAPERS **

2nd IEEE Workshop on Vision for Human Computer Interaction (V4HCI)


In conjunction with IEEE CVPR 2006

On-line at: http://www.ece.osu.edu/~aleix/V4HCI06.html

 New York, NY
 June 22, 2006


 Aims and scope
 --------------------

 This workshop is aimed towards bringing together computer vision and pattern
 recognition (CVPR) scientists whose work impacts human computer interaction (HCI).
 Following last year's success, we seek to attract contributions from a wide range
 of theoretical and application areas. In doing so, we hope to facilitate 
 discussions and debates that will identify the opportunities and challenges in
 applying CVPR to HCI. Relevant topics for the workshop include but are by no means
 limited to:

 ˇ Affective computing
 ˇ Brain-computer interface
 ˇ Database for training and testing
 ˇ Event detection and recognition
 ˇ Facial expression recognition
 ˇ Human motion and gesture recognition
 ˇ Haptic interface
 ˇ Learning
 ˇ Multimodal interface and integration
 ˇ Perceptual user interface
 ˇ Sign language analysis and recognition
 ˇ User, context, and task modeling

 Papers should be written within the context of HCI, and have direct implications
 and contributions to a specific HCI problem. All areas of HCI will be considered
 subject to the constraint that the submission makes an important contribution to
 computer vision and/or pattern recognition techniques. Although applications of
 known pattern recognition and computer vision techniques are welcome, we will
 give priority to those works that also make theoretical contributions to PR or
 CV. Papers focusing on applications should justify the PR or CV approach chosen
 for the problem under consideration. Experimental results should be consistent
 with such claims. A section with a direct discussion of the results is encouraged.

 Survey papers are welcomed and encouraged. Authors interested in submitting a
 survey article may want to contact the program co-organizers (v4hci@ece.osu.edu)
 prior to submission.
