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.

• Decision to Authors: August 10th, 2022

• Camera ready papers due: August 22nd, 2022

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

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

All the papers should be submitted at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/WCPA2022 

All papers will be reviewed by at least two reviewers with double-blind peer-review policy. Accepted submissions will be published in the ECCV 2022 Workshops proceedings.

Papers must be prepared according to the ECCV guidelines. Papers are limited to 14 pages, including figures and tables, in the ECCV style. Additional pages containing only cited references are allowed. 

Papers that are not properly anonymized, or do not use the template, or have more than 14 pages (excluding references) will be rejected without review.

Note also that the template has changed since ECCV 2020. We therefore strongly urge authors to use this new template instead of templates from older conferences.

WORKSHOP MODALITY

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

The workshop will be held in conjunction with the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2022). The workshop will take place in an entirely virtual mode.
