==============================
IEEE International Workshop on Analysis and Modeling of Faces and Gestures (AMFG2010)
--- Towards Large-Scale Data from Real-World Environments
Website: http://www.lv-nus.org/
During the last 30 years, human-centered perceptual understanding tasks such as face/body detection/ tracking, facial characteristic analysis (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, and expression), face/gait based human identification, and from understanding simple hand gesture to complex human body language, activity and behaviour, have attracted researchers from both computational and psychological communities. To be able to build tractable models has significant scientific and practical values. For example, human-computer interaction, video indexing, visual surveillance, and Internet vision are active application areas. To that end, researchers have made substantial progress. However, significant challenges still remain.
This one-day workshop (AMFG2010) will provide a focused international forum to bring together researchers and research groups to review the status of recognition, analysis and modeling of face, gesture, and body, to discuss the challenges that we are facing, and to explore future directions. A particular interest and focus of this workshop will be placed upon large-scale data from real-world environments. The workshop will consist of two to three invited talks together with peer-reviewed regular papers (oral and poster). Original high-quality papers are solicited on a wide range of topics including:
• Face and body language recognition in real-world environments with unknown/changing background, e.g., Internet image search, or Facebook, or crowded public spaces.
• Soft biometrics and profiling: age, gender, and ethnicity classification by facial and/or body descriptions.
• Novel mathematical modelling and algorithms, sensors and modalities for face & body gesture/action representation, analysis and recognition.
• Novel applications based on robust detection, tracking and recognition of face, body and action.
• Psychological studies that can assist in understanding computational modelling and building better automated computer vision systems.
• Motion analysis, tracking and extraction of face and body models from image sequences captured by a single or multiple cameras from either a fixed or mobile platform.
• Detection and recognition of face and body under large 3D rotation, illumination change, partial occlusion, and aging.
• Face, gait and action recognition in low-quality, low-resolution video from fixed or mobile cameras.
• Dynamics and learning for gesture, activity, and body behavior interpretation.

2nd PHD COLLOQUIUM
jueves, 4 de junio de 2009
a satellite event of the 28th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2009)
The ER2009 PhD Colloquium is intended to bring together PhD students working
on topics related to the ER conference series. The workshop will offer PhD students the
opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in a constructive
and collegial atmosphere. Prominent researchers in the field of conceptual modeling will
attend the workshop and mentor the participant students. The workshop is co-located
with the ER2009 conference and will take place on the first conference day (Monday,
November 9th, 2009). The Colloquium language is English.
The PhD Colloquium is intended for students who have already settled on a specific
research proposal and have some preliminary results, but still have enough time
remaining before submitting their dissertation so that they can benefit from workshop
feedback. The technical scope of the PhD Workshop is the same as that of the ER2009.
=============================
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
=============================
Students willing to participate in the PhD Workshop must submit an abstract describing
their doctoral work. The abstract should not exceed 5 pages in the LNCS conferenceproceedings
style and must cover the following aspects:
− a clear formulation of the research topic
− an outline of the significant problems in the field and their current solutions
− a description of the proposed approach and its expected contributions
− a summary of the (expected) results, including their (proposed) evaluation method
The abstract must be submitted electronically to both chairs of the colloquium in PDF
format. All submissions will be acknowledged.
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, technical merit, presentation
quality and relevance to the workshop topics. Each paper will be reviewed by at least
two members of the workshop program committee (PhD Chairs plus PhD mentors).
By submitting a contribution students accept that they have to register to the
conference and attend the workshop. Failure to register or to attend will entail removal
of their submission even if formally accepted.
