The annual BPS Cognitive Section meeting will be held online this year at the end of August (27th-28th). I'd welcome submissions on face research, either 15+5 minute talks or posters. Submission at https://bpscog2020.stir.ac.uk/ by the end of July.
Also, please note that due to increasing amounts of spam, I've had to disable posts from non-members of the list. If you've submitted something and not seen it, check that you are emailing from the address you signed up with.

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS - SSBC 2020

Sclera Segmentation Benchmarking Competition (SSBC 2020)
Held in conjunction with IEEE/IAPR IJCB
2020https://ieee-biometrics.org/ijcb2020/Program.html#acom
Important dates: Registration is already open

We invite research groups working on ocular biometrics, segmentation
problems
or other related vision tasks to take part in the 2020 Sclera
Segmentation Benchmarking
Competition (SSBC 2020).
Sclera biometrics have gained significant popularity among emerging
ocular traits in the last
few years. In order to establish the sclera as a viable biometric trait
and to evaluate its
potential for automated biometric systems, several works have been
presented in the literature,
using the sclera vasculature as a standalone biometric trait and in
combination with the iris.
Despite these initiatives, sclera biometrics need to be studied more
extensively to ascertain
their usefulness. Among the numerous challenges still open in this area,
efficient and robust sclera segmentation is among
the most important ones, affecting all downstream tasks, ranging from
normalization to recognition. While
a considerable amount of research has been directed towards sclera
segmentation in recent years,
the performance of existing techniques especially in cross-sensor
scenarios and across different
acquisition conditions is still not well explored. To investigate these
issues, to document
recent developments and to attract (and raise) the interest of
researchers in this emerging
biometric trait, we are organzing SSBC 2020 - a competition (and group
benchmarking effort) held
in conjunction with IJCB 2020 focusing on the problem of sclera
segmentation.
The competition builds on past sclera segmentation competitions, namely
SSBC 2015, SSRBC 2016, SSERBC 2017, SSBC 2018 and SSBC 2019 held in
conjunction with BTAS 2015,
ICB 2016, IJCB 2017, ICB 2018 and ICB 2019 respectively. SSBC 2020 is
the next in the series of
sclera segmentation challenges and aims to benchmark sclera segmentation
models in both cross
sensor settings as well as across different acquisition conditions.
The competition is open to everyone. Registartion is already open.

*** SUMMARY PAPER ***
All participating researchers (achieving competitive performance) will
be invited as co-authors for
a summary paper of SSBC 2020 that will send for consideration at IJCB 2020.
