"WHAT'S IN A FACE?"
ECCV 2012 WORKSHOP
12 OCTOBER 2012
https://sites.google.com/site/wiaf2012/
================================================================


The “What’s in a Face?” workshop aims to provide a forum for
interdisciplinary exchange on the topic of human face. The
interdisciplinary aspect will promote a lively exchange of ideas between
researchers in computer vision, biometrics, cognitive psychology and
forensics. This exchange will be facilitated by invited talks from
leading researchers in these disciplines. Additionally, a panel session
will be conducted to bring to the fore new perspectives and promote
active collaboration between these disciplines.


Computer vision sees the human face as a natural object and aims to
perform the tasks of detection, tracking, coding and matching from
images and videos. The task of facial recognition, for the purpose of
establishing human identity, is the central focus in biometrics, where
face images have also been used to deduce soft biometric attributes such
as an individual’s age, gender and ethnicity. In forensics, local facial
features such as moles, scars, tattoos and wrinkles have been used to
validate identity in one-to-one matching cases involving photos. In
speech forensics, face videos have been used in conjunction with audio
streams to enhance the reliability of speech recognition through the use
of audio-visual cues. Real-time face tracking, coupled with the use of
soft biometric features, has allowed for new applications, such as
continuous user monitoring and authentication in work environments. In
cognitive vision and social psychology, videos and images of faces have
been analyzed to infer an individual’s emotional state or to detect
interpersonal deception. The neuropsychological processes pertaining to
how humans recognize faces has also been actively studied over several
decades. From a medical perspective, face images may also offer
information about an individual’s health. More recently, facial images
have been used to study familial relationships.


The above observations lead to the tantalizing question: “What’s in a
Face?”


We invite high quality contributions on the following topics:
- Novel 2D and 4D face recognition algorithms
- Neuropsychology of face recognition in humans
- Face understanding in social/cognitive psychology
- Face behaviometrics
- Age, gender and race prediction from faces
- Emotion and deception detection from faces
- Familial relationships from face images
- Facial forensics based on scars, moles, tattoos
- Facial micro-expressions
- Detection of social intent from faces
- Recognition of attentional focus
