biometrics in the wild

I asked about the relevance of the Image and Vision Computing (IVC) Special Issue on Biometrics in the Wild to Psychologists. This was Vito's response: It may be important to provide some context first. The special issue builds on a workshop that we are organizing as part of the 2017 edition of the IEEE Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (http://luks.fe.uni-lj.si/bwild17/) but is open to everyone interested in contributing. While we issued a call for biometrics in general, we expect most submitted papers to be face and (maybe gesture) related - due to our connection to AFGR. I feel that papers on the psychology of face recognition would fit nicely into the scope of the planned special issue. Work on perceptual and cognitive aspects of face recognition and connections to recent machine learning models would certainly be interesting as well. I see a lot of work in this area that would make sense for the special issue.

CFP: IVC Special Issue on Biometrics in the Wild
by Vitomir Štruc 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

** Apologies for cross-posting ** **************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Image and Vision Computing (IVC) Special Issue on: Biometrics in the Wild Submission deadline: 30 June, 2017 Target publication date: April, 2018 **************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS IVC SI: Biometrics in the Wild ** Motivation ** Biometric recognition from data captured in unconstrained settings, commonly referred to as biometric recognition in the wild, represents a challenging and highly active area of research. The interest in this area is fueled by the numerous application domains that deal with unconstrained data acquisition conditions such as forensics, surveillance, social media, consumer electronics or border control. While the existing biometric technology has matured to a point, where excellent performance can be achieved for various tasks in ideal laboratory-like settings, many problems related to in-the-wild scenarios still require further research and novel ideas. The goal of this special issue is to present the most advanced work related to biometric recognition in unconstrained settings and introduce novel solutions to open biometrics-related problems. Submitted papers should make a significant contribution in terms of theoretical findings or empirical observations, demonstrate improvements over the existing state-of-the-art and use the most challenging datasets available. ** Topics of Interest ** We invite high-quality papers on topics related to biometric recognition in the wild, including, but not limited to: • Region of interest detection (alignment, landmarking) in the wild, • Soft biometrics in the wild, • Context-aware techniques for biometric detection and recognition, • Novel normalization techniques, • Multi-modal biometrics in the wild, • Biometric recognition in the wild, • Biometrics from facial behavior (e.g., eye movement, facial expressions, micro-expressions), • Biometrics based on facial dynamics, • Novel databases and performance benchmarks, • Ethical issues, privacy protection and de-identification, • Spoofing and countermeasures, • Deep learning approaches for unconstrained biometric recognition, • Related applications, especially mobile. ** Important Dates ** Submission deadline: 30 June, 2017 Notifications to authors: 31 January, 2018 Target publication date: April, 2018 ** Guest Editors ** Bir Bhanu, University of California, Riverside, United States Abdenour Hadid, University of Oulu, Finland Qiang Ji, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, United States Mark Nixon, University of Southampton, United Kingdom Vitomir Struc, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia ** Advisory Editors ** Rama Chellappa, University of Maryland, United States Josef Kittler, University of Surrey, United Kingdom For more information visit: www.journals.elsevier.com/image-and-vision-computing/call-for-papers/specia… -- ass.prof.

Research question
by Parker, Bonnie 07 Feb '17

07 Feb '17

Dear colleagues I wonder if you are able to help me please. I am a third year Psychology student with the Open University and I am just about to embark on my final year experimental project. My area of interest for this project is the interaction between simultaneous vs sequential presentation and neutral vs leading phrasing in accuracy rates of rejection in target absent line-ups. I have been searching high and low for short videos of nonviolent crimes (I'm aiming for 4). Do you have any advice about where I could go about locating anything like that? I really appreciate you talking the time to read my email. Thank you Kind regards Bonnie Parker Research Administrator Department of Physics King's College London Strand Building S3.07 | Strand | London | WC2R 2LS +44 (0) 20 7848 2155 bonnie.parker(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:bonnie.parker@kcl.ac.uk> www.kcl.ac.uk/physics<http://www.kcl.ac.uk/physics>

eNTERFACE'17, 13th International Summer Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces : Final project proposal submission deadline (10 February)
by Luís Teixeira 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

**Please forward to anyone who might be interested** Apologies for cross-posting ************************************************************************** CfP eNTERFACE'17 Workshop: International Summer Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces http://artes.ucp.pt/enterface17/ Final project proposal submission deadline (10 February) http://artes.ucp.pt/enterface17/authors-kit/eNTERFACE17_Authors_Kit.pdf ************************************************************************** eNTERFACE workshops aim at establishing a tradition of collaborative, localized research and development work by gathering, in a single place, a team of senior project leaders in multimodal interfaces, researchers, and (undergraduate) students, to work on a pre-specified list of challenges, for 4 weeks. Following the success of the previous eNTERFACE workshops held in Mons (Belgium, 2005), Dubrovnik (Croatia, 2006), Istanbul (Turkey, 2007), Paris (France, 2008), Genova (Italy, 2009), Amsterdam (Netherlands, 2010), Plzen (Czech Republic, 2011), Metz (France, 2012), Lisbon (Portugal, 2013), Bilbao (Spain, 2014), Mons (Belgium, 2015), Twente (Netherlands 2016), the Digital Creativity Centre (CCD)<http://artes.ucp.pt/ccd>, Universidade Catolica Portuguesa, has the pleasure to host eNTERFACE’17<http://artes.ucp.pt/enterface17>, the 13th Summer Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces, to be held in Porto, Portugal from July 3rd to 28th, 2017. The eNTERFACE'17 committee<http://artes.ucp.pt/enterface17/Committees_eNTERFACE17.html> now invites researchers to submit project proposals that will be evaluated by the scientific committee.
