HCSNet Workshop on the Use of Vision in HCI - VisHCI 2006

Call for Papers

Prospective participants are invited to submit full papers or extended abstracts to the workshop. Full papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee (VisHCI 2006 uses a blind paper review process). Extended abstracts will not be peer-reviewed and will be marked as such in the proceedings. We solicit original paper submissions from interested parties both in Australia and overseas. The workshop is open internationally. Papers are invited in any area related to the use of computer vision in HCI, including (but not limited to) the following areas:

• Hand and body gestures
• Human motion and pose recognition
• Visual object tracking (e.g. face, body, hands)
• Facial expression analysis and recognition
• Face recognition
• Affective computing
• Vision beyond the visible spectrum (e.g. temperature maps of body and face, bloodflow estimation)
• Non-rigid object structure recovery (e.g. structure from motion for hand and face shapes, active shape models, active appearance models)
• Auditory-visual speech processing by humans and machines
• Vision processing in human factors analysis
• Event detection and recognition
• Visual interface design
• Multimodal interfaces and integration
• Perceptual user interfaces
• Sign language analysis and recognition
• Behaviour analysis
• User and context modelling
• Applications (e.g. person authentication, user monitoring, driver assistance technology, AV automatic speech recognition, meeting room technology)
• Data corpora of visual HCI events

Full papers can have a maximum length of 10 A4 pages, extended abstracts of 2 A4 pages. Author guidelines and style files are now available on the Paper Submission page.

Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings which will be published in the Australian Computer Society's series Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology (CRPIT), volume 56, ISBN 1-920-68238-4, ISSN 1445-1336. Papers published in the CRPIT series will also be sent to the usual digital libraries, will be available in the usual citation indices (e.g. Citeseer, Google Scholar, DBLP) and will also be available freely online on the CRPIT website. Please note that it is also a condition of publication that accepted papers will be presented by one of the authors.
