The workshop will take place over two and a half days, and provide
ample time to discuss recent ideas and results as well as time for
networking. The workshop will start at lunch time on Wednesday, 1
November, and finish in the afternoon of Froday, 3 November, thus
allowing sufficient time for participants to travel to and from
Canberra.
The workshop will be divided into several sessions that will run
in a single-track fashion. The sessions will include a mix of
keynote presentations, presentations of accepted papers, and
discussion time for future possible collaborations. The program
includes keynote
addresses by Iain
Matthews (Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh), Gerasimos
Potamianos (IBM TJ Watson Research Center, Yorktown), and David
Powers (Flinders University, Adelaide). We hope that
participants will find the discussion and networking time
particularly useful and we would be glad to set time aside for
participants who want to discuss joint ARC grant applications.

Demonstration Sessions
On Thursday, 2 November 2006, Seeing
Machines will give a demonstration of their award-winning
faceLab™ software which provies a robust and flexible
non-contact vision-based system for tracking and acquisition of
human facial features. On Friday, 3 November 2006, workshop
participants will have the opportunity to go on a tour of the
Seeing Machines facilities and to watch demonstrations of their
other products and innovations.
In addition, the VISTA
program of the NICTA Canberra Research Lab
will demonstrate camera technology that can 'see' beyond the
visible spectrum (near-infrared and far-infrared cameras) as part
of the Spectral Imaging and Source Mapping project
and driver assistance technology that can detect road signs and
track pedestrians crossing the street as part of the
Smarts Cars
project.
