International Workshop on Automatic Face- and Gesture-Recognition

June 26 - 28, 1995


Purpose

Automatic face and gesture recognition has rapidly developed into
a highly active field of research with application potentials in
areas such as contactless man-machine interaction, access control,
automatic search in visual databases, and very low bit-rate compres-
sion.
This International Workshop is focusing on image- and video-based
face recognition, facial expression recognition, and hand gesture
and body movement analysis. Topics of special interest include: 3D
data acquisition, segmentation, modeling, and invariance to illu-
mination and geometrical transformations.
This Workshop is an ideal forum for identifying, encouraging and
exchanging ideas on research and development as well as on new appli-
cations of automated face- and gesture-recognition.
The Workshop is supported by IEEE Computer Society, Swiss Informa-
ticians Society (SI), Swiss Computer Graphics Association (SCGA),
Union Bank of Switzerland (UBILAB), Orell Fuessli Security Printing, Ltd,
Bauer Systemtechnik AG, Siemens-Albis AG, Telecontrol AG, and Cerberus AG.


Program overview

The call for participation to IWAFGR95 has had an unexpected high success.
More than 80 papers have been received and reviewed by international experts.
A total of 31 contributions of very high quality have been selected for
oral presentation at IWAFGR95. Another 29 high quality papers have been
selected for poster presentation. These contributions give an outstanding
overview of current research and state-of-the-art techniques in face- and
gesture-recognition.
