IMPRESS 2011 - Second International Workshop Interactive Multimodal Pattern Recognition in Embedded SystemS IMPRESS 2011

The field of pattern recognition (PR) provides many successful examples of systems that have converted from theoretical studies to practical solutions in real-life applications. Since implementations of PR tend to be special-purpose, PR is often realized as some kind of embedded system. The spectrum of PR is vast. Recognized objects or events can be artificial or natural. Deployed methods can be deductive or inductive, analytical or statistical, programmed or hardwired, digital or analogue, supervised or unsupervised, etc. User interaction with such systems can be optical, phonetic, tactile, or based on other kinds of sensors. PR systems often provide multiple modes of interaction and input data processing. IMPRESS 2011 focuses on aspects of embedding, interaction and multimodality of PR systems. The workshop provides a forum for presenting and discussing the state of the art, ongoing research and development, innovative system features and forward-looking ideas in the field. In parallel with the presentation and discussion of written contributions, IMPRESS 2011 also features selected implementations of PR systems and prototypes in a demo showroom.

Topics

We are calling for papers presenting original research results, innovative ideas, work in progress, industrial experience, case studies or position statements. In particular, we welcome submissions that highlight aspects of interaction, multimodality or embedding. In general, submitted work should deal with PR systems in areas including, but not limited to the following topics:

Analysis of imagess, signals, sounds, tracks, videos
Applications:
automotive, biometric, data mining, domotic, forensic, gaming, genomic, medical, etc
Classification and indexing of items
Coding and processing
Computer vision
Databases and digital libraries for PR
Descriptors and Representation
Device- and application-embedded PR
Distributed, clustered, networked PR
Enhancement of audio, pics, video
Feature detection
Filtering, separation and segmentation
Formal, mathematical, statistical methods
Fuzzy and hybrid techniques
Hardware acceleration of PR algorithms
Implementations of PR algorithms (DSP, FPGA, SoC, VLSI)
Machine learning, relevance feedback
Morphology
Motion tracking
Multimedia
Navigation (aural, tactile, visual)
On-line and off-line PR
Performance evaluation
Recognition of faces, graphics, objects, shapes, sounds, text, voices, writings, etc
Retrieval of images, patterns, sounds, videos; semantic retrieval
Robotics
Sensor systems
Similarity Metrics
System design
Understanding of audio, images, scenes, video
User interfaces

Submissions

Please login here and submit an electronic copy (preferably .pdf) of your work. For dates and deadlines, click here. Submissions must be neither published nor under revision elsewhere, be written in English, contain an abstract of about 200 words and should not exceed five double-column pages in IEEE format. In case of any problems, please contact the organizers.

Proceedings

All papers submitted to IMPRESS 2011 will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers that are presented at the workshop will be published in an IEEE CSP proceedings volume of the DEXA 2011 workshops. (For example, see bibliographic details of our previous DEXA workshop IMPRESS 2010.)
