CV4AC 2014 - First International Workshop on Computer Vision for Affective Computing (CV4AC)

Affective computing deals with analyzing the affect using different modalities. Computer vision undoubtedly is one of the primary modalities in affective computing. Given the recent advancement in computer vision areas such as face and facial parts detection, body parts detection and scene analysis, it has opened up avenues for analyzing the affective state of subjects and the affect conveyed by scenes. This workshop invites researchers to submit their original work proposing methods inferring affect using computer vision. The workshop comprises of a sub-challenge: group expression analysis in the wild as well.
Scope of the papers:
Image and Video based facial expression analysis
Emotion recognition in the wild
Pose estimation for affect analysis
Scene recognition for affect analysis
Gesture recognition for affect analysis
Gaze and attention for affect analysis
Saliency detection for affect analysis
Activity recognition for affect analysis
Fiducial points detection
Temporal models for face analysis
Spontaneous affect databases
Arts and media
Applications in entertainment, healthcare and games
