The Ninth IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG 2011) will be held in Santa Barbara, California on March 21-23, 2011. 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. The conference presents research that advances the state-of-the-art in these and related areas, leading to new capabilities in areas such as biometrics, interactive systems, surveillance, healthcare, and entertainment. The FG conference plays an important role in shaping related scientific, academic, and higher-education programs. For FG 2011, we are soliciting papers in all areas of face and gesture recognition, including:

Age-related change in facial appearance
Human communicative behavior analysis
Multimodal and context-sensitive interfaces
Vision-based human robot interaction
Ambient intelligence
Multi-modal sensing and novel sensing technologies
Human action recognition
Face and feature tracking
Active appearance and active shape models
Learning feature spaces and manifolds

Submissions

Submissions may be up to six pages in conference format.  Substantially similar papers may not have appeared elsewhere or be in submission to another conference during the FG review period. Papers presented at FG 2011 will appear in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Click here for submission details. 

Continuing a tradition begun with the last Face and Gesture conference, a selection of the best-reviewed papers from FG 2011 will be invited to a special issue of the Image and Vision Computing Journal.

Conference Venue

FG 2011 will be held (tentatively) at the beautiful Doubletree Resort in Santa Barbara, a 24-acre, mission-style Santa Barbara hotel resort facing the Pacific Ocean, located on one of Southern California's most beautiful coastlines. (Other locations in the area are being considered.) The main conference will be held March 21-23, with workshops on March 24-25.
