IWGSI2010

The goal of this workshop is to bring researchers from academia and industries in the field of computer vision and other closely related fields such as robotics and HCI together to share recent advances and discuss future research directions and opportunities for gaze sensing technologies and its applications to Human Computer Interactions and Human Robot Interactions. Topics of interest include and are not limited to:

Model-based gaze estimation
Appearance-based gaze estimation
Head pose estimation from low-resolution images
Visual attention analysis
Attentive user interfaces
Algorithm and systems that incorporate eye gaze for human computer interactions and human robot interactions

Keynote Speakers

Ian Reid (University of Oxford, UK): Understanding Interactions and Guiding Visual Surveillance by Tracking Attention
Chen Yu (Indiana University, USA): Real-time Dynamic Patterns of Joint Attention in Multimodal Human-Robot and Human-Human Interactions

Paper Submission

Format

In preparation of papers, please follow instructions on the ACCV 2010. The workshop proceedings will be printed by Springer LNCS as post-conference proceedings.

Papers should be no longer than 10 pages (no additional pages) in Springer LNCS format. Note that the main ACCV event was 12 pages. The author kit also says 12 pages. Please ignore.

To encourage adoption of camera-ready formats, all submitted papers must use the appropriate paper format and be submitted in the correct file format. The submission format should be PDF. The file size is limited to 10MB.

As the reviewing process should be blind, all submissions should be anonymous.

Submission

Dual submission to the main ACCV conference is allowed, but papers submitted to this workshop should not be submitted anywhere else. Please note that workshop papers must be shorter (10 pages max) than ACCV papers.

You have to declare double-submission with giving paper ID for the ACCV2010 main conference if the paper sufficiently overlapping in the content has been submitted to ACCV2010 conference.

You can provide one supplemental material to each paper. The file size is limited to 30MB and the file format must be ZIP.

Please note that user accounts are not shared with the CMT web-site for the ACCV2010 main conference. You need to create a new account for submitting papers to IWGSI2010, accordingly.

Review

Each submission will be reviewed by at least three reviewers from program committee members and external reviewers for originality, significance, clarity, soundness, relevance and technical contents.

Important Dates

Submission deadline (extended)	August 31, 2010
Notification of acceptance	September 25, 2010
Camera ready due	October 5, 2010
Workshop date	November 8, 2010
