Automated Human Health Monitoring Based on Computer Vision has gained rapid
Automated Human Health Monitoring Based on Computer Vision has gained rapid
scientific attention in the last decade, fueled by many research articles
and commercial systems. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the need
for virtual diagnosis and monitoring health protocols such as regulating
social distancing, surveillance of individuals wearing masks in-crowd,
gauging body temperature and other physiological measurements from
distance. Consequently, researchers from computer vision, as well as from
the medical science community have given significant attention to goals
ranging from patient analysis and monitoring to diagnostics (e.g., for
dementia, depression, healthcare, physiological measurement, rare
neurologic diseases). Moreover, healthcare represents an area of broad
economic, social, and scientific impact. The goal of this special session
is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in this area of
computer vision and medical science and to address a wide range of
theoretical and practical issues related to real-life healthcare systems.
We especially invite papers resulting from collaboration between technical
and clinical experts. Hence, this FG Special Session represents a venue for
fostering these collaborations, providing a unique and welcoming
environment for transdisciplinary research that is sometimes labelled as
being “too clinical” by technical journals or “too technical” by clinical
journals.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Health monitoring based on face analysis,
Health monitoring based on gesture analysis,
Health monitoring based corporeal-based visual features,
Depression analysis based on visual features,
Face analytics for human behaviour understanding,
Anxiety diagnosis based on face and gesture,
Physiological measurement employing face analytics,
Databases on health monitoring, e.g., depression analysis,
Augmentative and alternative communication,
Human-robot interaction,
Home healthcare,
Technology for cognition,
Automatic emotional hearing and understanding,
Visual attention and visual saliency,
Assistive living,
Privacy-preserving systems,
Quality of life technologies,
Mobile and wearable systems,
Applications for the visually impaired,
Sign language recognition and applications for hearing impaired,
Applications for the ageing society,
Personalized monitoring,
Egocentric and first-person vision,
Assessing physical and/or cognitive ability based on face and body
movement analysis,
Orofacial assessment in clinical populations,
Hand function assessment in clinical populations,
Assessment of gait and/or balance,
Assistive technology,
Applications to improve health and wellbeing of children and elderly.
INVITATION to the International Association of Craniofacial Identification (IACI)
One-day Symposium - 23 July 2021
The IACI conference in Liverpool has been postponed to July 2022 due to the continued pandemic. However, we will be hosting a one-day online symposium as an IACI free taster event on 23 July 2021, 10am - 15:30pm BST.

* Race and Super-recognisers - Dr Josh Davis, University of Greenwich
* Race and Forensic Genetics - Dr David Skinner, Anglia Ruskin University
* Historical ethnographic craniofacial collections - Dr Tobias Houlton, University of Dundee
There will be an online poster event and the opportunity for some short presentations on any of the following topics:
Facial identification of the dead
* Facial reconstruction/approximation
* Craniofacial anatomy
* Craniofacial superimposition
* Depiction of preserved remains for museum exhibition
* Ethical issues relating to the presentation of faces of the dead
* DNA analysis for facial depiction of skeletal remains
* Migrant disaster victim identification
* CGI and animation
Facial identification of the living
* Age progression
* Eyewitness composites
* DNA-to-face
* Facial recognition
* CCTV analysis
* Facial morphing and deep fakes
If you would like to present a short paper or poster at this symposium, please submit an abstract with your name and affiliation to facelab(a)ljmu.ac.uk<mailto:facelab@ljmu.ac.uk> by 1 July 2021.
Details of how to access the symposium will be sent out at a later date.
Please forward this to any interested parties.

GLASGOW FACE MATCHING TEST 2 (GFMT2)
A new psychometric test of face matching ability has been developed by UNSW Sydney and University of York and is freely available for scientific use.
White, D., Guilbert, D., Varela, V.P.L. Renkins, R., & Burton, A. M. (2021). GFMT2: A psychometric measure of face matching ability. Behavior Research Methods. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-021-01638-x
GFMT2 is a new expanded version of the original Glasgow Face Matching Test. Test forms include:
GFMT2-S: A short 80 item test with test-retest reliability over a week r = 0.774. There are two equally difficult 40-item forms for use in experimental intervention studies.
GFMT-Low: Specifically designed to target lower than average performers, suited for assessing acquired or developmental prosopagnosia.
GFMT2-High: Specifically designed to target higher than average performers, suited for assessing super-recognisers and certain professional groups.
Short tests do not contain repeating identities, nor items from the original GFMT. Image pairs now include variation in head angle, pose, expression and subject-to-camera distance, making the new test more difficult and more representative of challenges in everyday face identification tasks.
The publication is available here: https://rdcu.be/cm1YR
Executable versions of the test are available for PC and MAC via: www.gfmt2.org
A postdoctoral researcher position is available immediately at the Objects
and Knowledge Laboratory, headed by Dr. Olivia Cheung, at NYU Abu Dhabi (
http://www.oliviacheunglab.org/). The postdoctoral researcher will carry
out experiments on high-level vision (object/face/letter/scene recognition)
in humans using behavioral, fMRI, and computational methods. Potential
research projects include, but are not limited to, investigations of the
influences of experience and conceptual knowledge on visual recognition.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience,
Cognitive Science, or a related field, and should possess strong
programming skills (e.g., R, Matlab, Python). Prior experience with
neuroimaging, computational, or psychophysical techniques is highly
preferred. Initial appointment is for two years, with the possibility of
renewal. Starting date is flexible, preferably by summer/early fall 2021.
The Objects and Knowledge Laboratory is part of the rapidly growing
Psychology department at NYU Abu Dhabi. The lab has access to the
state-of-the-art neuroimaging and behavioral facilities (including MRI,
MEG, eyetracking).
The terms of employment are very competitive, including relocation and
housing costs, and other benefits among which educational subsidies for
children. Informal inquiries regarding the position, university, or area,
are encouraged. To apply, individuals should email a curriculum vita, cover
letter, statement of research interests, the expected date of availability,
and contact information of two referees. All correspondence should be sent
