Call for Participation ====================== International Workshop on Automatic Face- and Gesture-Recognition June 26-28, 1995 University of Zurich Irchel Campus Zurich, Switzerland Purpose ------- Automatic face and gesture recognition has rapidly developed into a highly active field of research with application potential in areas such as contactless man-machine interaction, access control, automatic search in visual databases, and very-low bit-rate compression. This international workshop will focus on image- and video-based face recognition, facial expression recognition, and hand gesture and body movement analysis. Topics of special interest include: 3D data acquisition, segmentation, modeling, invariance to illumination and geometrical transformations. This international work-shop is an ideal forum for identifying, encouraging and exchanging ideas on research and de-velopment as well as on new applications of Automated Face- and Gesture Recognition. The workshop is supported by the IEEE Computer Society, the Swiss Computer Graphics Association (SCGA), the Swiss Informaticians Society (SI), Orell Fussli Security Printing, Ltd, and CERBERUS AG. Contributions ------------- Contributions are invited in analysis by synthesis techniques, acquisition of articulated shape models, deformable models, illumination invariant segmentation and recognition, analysis of face, gesture and gait movements, model-based methods for shape and motion estimation, feature identification, physics-based modelling, contactless man-machine interfaces and interaction with virtual worlds, very-low bit-rate encoding, face and person identification for access control and other applications, as well as other related topics. Submission of Contributions --------------------------- Four copies of the full paper, including figures and drawings not exceeding 6 pages (5500 words for a text without figures) should be submitted to the Local Arrangement Chairman. A latex style sheet can be obtained via anonymous ftp at ftp.ifi.unizh.ch The style file IWAFGR95.sty and an example file are located in the directory /pub/conferences/IWAFGR95 Papers must be received no later than December 1, 1994. Notification of acceptance will be sent to the authors by January 31, 1995. Full camera ready papers are due by March 31, 1995. Accepted papers will be collected in the proceedings of the conference.
