CALL FOR PAPERS
---
Development of RGB-D sensors (Kinect, Asus, Intel Creative, Leap Motion
etc) and camera miniaturization (wearable cameras, smart phones,
ubiquitous computing) have opened the door to a whole new range of
technologies and applications which require detecting hands and
recognizing hand poses in a variety of scenarios.
Our program will feature several high-quality invited talks, oral and
poster presentations, and a panel discussion to identify key research
questions and highlight future research directions. We invite submissions
of theoretical and applied papers in all areas covered by the workshop,
including, but not limited to:
- Hand detection
- Hand pose and gesture recognition
- 3D articulated hand tracking
- Hand modelling and rendering
- Grasping and object manipulation
- Hand activity recognition
- Gesture interfaces
- Egocentric vision systems
- Structured prediction
- Applications of hand pose estimation in AR/VR
- Applications of hand pose estimation in robotics and haptics
- Driver hand activity analysis
In the spirit of Chalearn "looking at people" for body pose estimation or
Pascal VOC Challenge for object recognition, we organize a challenge
associated with this workshop. We aim at comparing new and established
methods for hand detection and pose estimation on a standard and varied
data set covering multiple scenarios and settings. We released such
dataset and encourage participants to use it for evaluation and to
participate in the challenge.
In addition to regular papers, we also invite extended abstracts of
ongoing or published work, and invite authors of previous and ongoing work
to submit empirical results to our challenge.
