The submitted papers should present original work not currently under review elsewhere and should have no substantial overlap with already published work. Accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of IEEE FG 2017 & Workshops and will be sent for inclusion into the IEEE Xplore digital library. A special issue on "Biometrics in the Wild" that will build on the BWild workshop series will also be organized in Image and Vision Computing. **About** To goal of this workshop is to present the most recent and advanced work related to biometric recognition in the wild. Submitted papers should clearly show improvements over the existing state-of-the-art and use the most challenging datasets available. We are interested in all parts of biometric systems ranging from detection, landmark localization, pre-processing, and feature extraction techniques to modeling and classification approaches capable of operating on biometric data captured in the wild. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Biometric recognition in the wild (face, ear, gait, palms, iris, periocular…), - Biometric detection in the wild (face, eyes, ears, body, …), - Soft biometrics in the wild, - Context-aware techniques for biometric detection and recognition, - Landmark localization in the wild, - Robust machine learning for biometrics in the wild, - Normalization techniques for recognition in the wild, - Multi-modal biometrics in the wild, - Novel databases and performance benchmarks, - Privacy protection and de-identification of biometric identifiers, - Spoofing of biometric systems, - Deep learning approaches for unconstrained biometric recognition, - Related applications. ** Date and Venue ** The workshop will be held in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (IEEE FG 2017) in Washington DC, USA on either May 30th or June 3rd, 2017 (TBD).
