CALL for PAPERS - IEEE FG 2018
May 16 - 18, Xi’an, China
http://fg2018.org/

************************************************************************

The 13th IEEE International Conference on AUTOMATIC FACE AND GESTURE
RECOGNITION (FG 2018) will be held in Xi’an, China on May 16-18, 2018.
The IEEE conference series on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition is
the premier international forum for research in image and video-based
face, gesture, and body movement recognition. Its broad scope includes:
advances in fundamental computer vision, pattern recognition and
computer graphics; machine learning techniques relevant to face,
gesture, and body motion; new algorithms and applications.

The conference presents research that advances the state-of-the-art in
these and related areas, leading to new capabilities in various
application domains. For FG 2018 we are soliciting papers in all areas
of face and gesture recognition. This year, we are bringing the FG
community closer to the affective computing and multimodal interaction
communities with a new dedicated track: "Computer vision in affective
computing and multimodal interaction".

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Face recognition & biometrics
- Face analysis and synthesis
- Body action and activity recognition
- Psychological and behavioral analysis
- Computer vision in affective computing & multimodal interaction
- Gesture recognition, analysis and synthesis
- Technologies and applications

We also want to welcome at the FG 2018 conference papers from behavioral
and social science, which often increase our scientific knowledge
instead of presenting a technical and algorithmic novelty. For this
reason, the “novelty” criteria used during FG 2018 review will be based
on two sub-criteria (i.e., scientific novelty and technical novelty as
described below). Accepted papers at FG 2018 only need to be novel on
one of these sub-criteria. In other words, a paper which is strong on
scientific knowledge contribution but low on algorithmic novelty should
be ranked similarly to a paper that is high on algorithmic novelty but
low on knowledge discovery.
a. Scientific Novelty: Papers should bring some new knowledge to the
scientific community. For example, discovering new behavioral markers
that are predictive of schizophrenia or Parkinson or on new behavioral
patterns on children interactions during learning. It is the
responsibility of the authors to perform a proper literature review and
clearly discuss the novelty in the scientific discoveries made in their
paper.
b. Technical Novelty: Papers reviewed with this sub-criterion should
include novelty in their computational approach for recognizing,
generating or modeling human face and gestures. The novelty can be in
the learning and prediction algorithms, in the neural architecture or in
the data representation. Novelty can also be associated to a new usage
of an existing approach.


* SUBMISSIONS *

This year, we introduce short papers in addition to the traditional long
papers. Long paper submissions may be up to 8 pages in conference
format, including references. Short papers may be up to 4 pages and an
additional fifth page for references. Submissions to FG 2018 should
represent original research work that is not under review elsewhere.
Special session papers will follow the same guidelines as normal
conference papers, including submission deadlines. All submissions will
be rigorously assessed by a double-blind peer review process and should
demonstrate clear novelty and/or improvements over the existing state of
the art. Papers accepted and presented at FG 2018 will be submitted for
inclusion into IEEE Xplore. A selection of the best reviewed papers from
FG 2018 will be invited to a special issue of the Image and Vision
Computing journal. Submission details are available on the conference
website.


* WORKSHOPS, TUTORIALS, SPECIAL SESSIONS and PANELS *

Workshops and tutorials will be held on May 15 and May 19. Have a look
