The IEEE conference series on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition is the premier international forum for research in image and video-based face, gesture, and body movement recognition. Its broad scope includes: advances in fundamental computer vision, pattern recognition and computer graphics; machine learning techniques relevant to face, gesture, and body motion; new algorithms and applications. The conference presents research that advances the state-of-the-art in these and related areas, leading to new capabilities in various application domains. For FG 2015 we are soliciting papers in all areas of face and gesture recognition. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Face recognition, analysis and synthesis, - Facial expression analysis and synthesis, - Gesture recognition, analysis and synthesis, - Body motion analysis and synthesis, - Action recognition, - Psychological and behavioral analysis, - Technologies and applications. ** SUBMISSIONS ** Paper submissions may be up to eight pages in conference format. Papers longer than six pages will be subject to a page fee for the additional pages (two max). Submissions to FG 2015 should represent original research work that is not under review elsewhere. All submissions will be rigorously reviewed and should clearly demonstrate improvements over the existing state of the art. Papers accepted and presented at FG 2015 will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore. A selection of the best reviewed papers from FG 2015 will be invited to a *special issue of the Image and Vision Computing** **journal*. Submission details are available on the conference website. * * ** CONFERENCE VENUE ** The conference will be held in Cankarjev Dom - Congress Center Ljubljana, which is located at the heart of Slovenia's capital Ljubljana, at a walking distance from the attractive old part of the city and other major attractions. ** IMPORTANT DATES ** Paper submission ... 30 Septmeber 2014 Rebuttal ... 15-17 December 2014 Decision to authors ... 9 January 2015 Camera ready version ... 27 January 2015 Main conference ... 4-8 May 2015 Please like our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/faceandgesture The call for IEEE FG2016 and IEEE FG2017 proposals is available from http://www.fg2015.org -- ass.prof.
