27 Jul '16

Apologies for multiple postings --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third Workshop on Computer Vision for Affective Computing (CV4AC) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asian Conference on Computer Vision (ACCV) 2016, Taiwan https://sites.google.com/site/thirdcv4ac/ Affective computing deals with analyzing the affect using different modalities. Computer vision undoubtedly is one of the primary modalities in affective computing. Given the recent advancement in computer vision areas such as face and facial parts detection, body parts detection and scene analysis, it has opened up avenues for analyzing the affective state of subjects and the affect conveyed by scenes. This workshop invites researchers to submit their original work proposing methods inferring affect using computer vision. The workshop focusses on the `in the wild' aspect of affect recognition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the papers: Image and Video based facial expression analysis Emotion recognition in the wild Pose estimation for affect analysis Scene recognition for affect analysis Gesture recognition for affect analysis Gaze and attention for affect analysis Saliency detection for affect analysis Activity recognition for affect analysis Fiducial points detection Temporal models for face analysis Spontaneous affect databases Arts and media Applications in entertainment, healthcare and games --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates Paper submission: August 15 Acceptance notice: September 10 Camera read due: September 17 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organisers Abhinav Dhall, University of Waterloo Roland Goecke, University of Canberra/Australian National University O.

23 Jul '16

[Apologies for cross-postings] Conference announcement ----------------------------------------------- IEEE International Conference on Identity, Security and Behavior Analysis (ISBA 2017) Location: New Delhi, India Dates: February 23-24 2017 http://ieee-biometrics.org/isba2017/ ----------------------------------------------- ISBA is a unique conference series initiated by the IEEE Biometrics Council and its third edition will be held in New Delhi, India. This conference is intended to meet the emerging need for a winter meeting, especially for the Asian participants where the introduction of large scale biometrics programs have attracted significant increase in research and development efforts. It will be a forum that brings together experts in biometrics, security, and human behavior to consider research issues and solutions that are robust, comprehensive, and broader than currently considered in each of these individual research areas. This conference serves to provide a new form for such broad areas defining human side of security and user behavior as well as social influence in the biometrics security. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Anti-Spoofing, Behavioral Biometrics, Biometric System Evaluation, Biometrics in Law Enforcement, Cybercrime • De-identification, Detection and Tracking, Device Identification, Digital Forensics • Human Behavior Analysis, Human Activity Understanding, Identity Management, Information Security, Person Re-identification • Performance Evaluation, Privacy-preserving Computing, Predictive Analytics, Single and Multi-modal Biometrics • Social Biometrics, Social and Criminal Network Inference, Surveillance Identification, Template Protection and Data Privacy • Usability and Performance, User-centric Biometric Security Submitted papers may not be accepted or under review elsewhere. Submissions may be up to eight pages in conference format (double blind reviewing). Papers accepted and presented at ISBA 2017 will be published in conference proceedings and made available in IEEE Xplore library. Important dates Submission deadline: October 10, 2016 Decision to authors: December 10, 2016 Camera ready submission: December 20, 2016 Conference: February 23-24, 2017 General Chair Rama Chellappa (University of Maryland, USA) General Co-chairs Ajay Kumar (PolyU, Hongkong) Richa Singh (IIIT-Delhi, India) Program Co-chairs M.

Funded Face Processing PhD & Graduate Tutor Opportunity
by Natalie Butcher 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Dear list: A Funded PhD position is available with Dr Natalie Butcher (Teesside University, UK) on a project entitled: differences in processing and recognising static and moving faces. The position is one of 25 Graduate Tutor roles which will support the post holder to study for a PhD whilst gaining teaching experience. These posts are salaried for up to 4 years (£20,989 - £25,023) and all associated fees are also covered as part of the role. The proposed research seeks to investigate the individual differences factors that influence the extent to which a viewer benefits from the availability of facial motion information when learning and recognising faces. The work will include execution of experimental psychological studies to explore the relationship between a range of individual differences factors and the motion advantage, within typical and atypical populations. Deadline for application: July 31, 2016 If you know of any suitable candidates who are interested in conducting a PhD in this field can you please consider sharing this information with them. For more information about the graduate tutor role and how to apply see: https://recruitment.tees.ac.uk/itrentlive_webrecruitment/wrd/run/etrec107gf… For more information about the range of projects graduate tutors can select their PhD topic from including this project see: http://www.tees.ac.uk/sections/research/projects2.cfm For informal enquiries, please feel free to contact me by email (n.butcher(a)tees.ac.uk) Best wishes, Natalie Dr Natalie Butcher Senior Lecturer in Psychology School of Social Sciences, Business & Law Teesside University TS13BX Tel: +44(0)1642 342385 Twitter: @TeesPysch @Dr_N_Butcher
