AIMS AND SCOPE

===============

Human-centered data are extremely widespread and have been intensely investigated by researchers belonging to even very different fields, including Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence. These research efforts are motivated by the several highly-informative aspects of humans that can be investigated, ranging from corporal elements (e.g. bodies, faces, hands, anthropometric measurements) to emotions and outward appearance (e.g. human garments and accessories). 

The huge amount and the extreme variety of this kind of data make the analysis and the use of learning approaches extremely challenging. In this context, several interesting problems can be addressed, such as the reliable detection and tracking of people, the estimation of the body pose, the development of new human-computer interaction paradigms based on expression and sentiment analysis.

Furthermore, considering the crucial impact of human-centered technologies in many industrial application domains, the demand for accurate models able also to run on mobile and embedded solutions is constantly increasing. For instance, the analysis and manipulation of garments and accessories worn by people can play a crucial role in the fashion business. Also, the human pose estimation can be used to monitor and guarantee the safety between workers and industrial robotic arms.

The goal of this workshop is to improve the communication between researchers and companies and to develop novel ideas that can shape the future of this area, in terms of motivations, methodologies, prospective trends, and potential industrial applications. Finally, a consideration about the privacy issues behind the acquisition and the use of human-centered data must be addressed for both the academia and companies.

IMPORTANT DATES

=================

• Paper Submission Deadline: March 24th, 2022 

• Decision to Authors: April 15th, 2022

• Camera ready papers due: April 22nd, 2021

• Workshop date: TBA

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

======================

All the papers should be submitted at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/TCAP2021.

The maximum number of pages is 10 + 2 pages for references. While preparing their contributions, authors must follow guidelines and technical instructions provided by Springer that can be found at:

https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines. 

At the time of submission, authors must indicate the type of the paper:

• Regular papers: will be peer-reviewed following the same policy of the main conference (double-blind policy), and will be published in the proceedings. These are meant to present novel contributions not published previously (submitted papers should not have been published, accepted or under review elsewhere).

• Presentation papers: are meant for papers that have been already accepted for publication previously, preferably in the last year in some major conferences or journals. These papers will undergo a soft-reviewing process from the chairs to assess the suitability for the workshop topics. These will not appear in the proceedings.

The inclusion of both the above paper categories is meant to encourage dissemination and discussion of recent findings related to the workshop topics. 

Each accepted paper must be covered by at least one author registered. Registration can be either for the full event (5 days) at a regular rate or just for workshops and tutorials (2 days).

WORKSHOP MODALITY

====================

The workshop will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing (ICIAP 2021). Both virtual and in presence participation will be allowed.
