UCCV 2014 - The 2nd Workshop on User-Centred Computer Vision

We are very pleased to announce the 2nd Workshop on User-Centred Computer Vision (UCCV 2014), to be held as part of the Asian Conference on Computer Vision (ACCV 2014) in Singapore from 1st to 5th November 2014. UCCV is a one day workshop intended to provide a forum to discuss the creation of intuitive, interactive and accessible computer vision technologies.
The majority of researchers in computer vision focus on advancing the state-of-the-art in algorithms and methods; there is very little focus on how the state-of-the-art can be usefully presented to the majority of people. Research is required to provide new technology to address the shortcomings in the usability of computer vision.
The workshop will bring together researchers from academia and industry in the fields of computer vision and human-computer interaction to discuss the state-of-the-art in user-friendly and developer-friendly computer vision. We invite the submission of original, high quality research papers on user-centred, interactive or accessible computer vision. Areas of interest include (but not limited to):
Interactive computer vision techniques
Vision systems/frameworks designed for use by non-experts
Visual or Integrated Development Environments for vision system design
High-level abstractions of vision algorithms
Algorithm/Task/User level API design
Detection/tracking/recognition of a physical person as input to an interactive system
Interpretation of user input such as descriptions, sketches, images or video
Automatic or interactive algorithm selection
Automatic or interactive task selection
Automatic or interactive parameter tuning for vision algorithms
Using computer vision to exploit meaningful user interaction
Case studies on user-centred computer vision
Interactive/supervised correction of weaknesses in the current state-of-the-art in computer vision
Evaluation of vision interfaces (e.g. through user studies)
