different areas, e.g. media & entertainment, culture, health, security,
etc.;
* Multimedia analysis and retrieval aiming to solve major societal
challenges (e.g. disinformation, climate change, social inequalities etc.);
* Legal/ethical challenges and societal impact of multimedia analysis
and retrieval;
* Community-contributed social data;
* Lifelogging data and automatically generated sensor data;
* Generative AI for multimedia content creation and retrieval.

The Workshops will contain both:

* Long research papers which should present complete work with
evaluations on topics related to the Conference. They will have both
oral and poster presentations at the conference.
* Short research papers which should present preliminary results or more
focused contributions. They will be presented as posters at the conference.

We cordially invite you to submit your workshop proposals to ICMR 2025!

Call for Papers – Extended deadline | Special Issue: “Latest Research on Eye Tracking Applications” | Applied Sciences (IF: 2.5, CiteScore: 5.3, ISSN 2076-3417)

 
Dear Colleagues,
 
We would like to inform you that the deadline for the Special Issue “Latest Research on Eye Tracking Applications” in Applied Sciences (IF: 2.5, CiteScore: 5.3, ISSN 2076-3417) has been extended (New deadline for manuscript submissions: 20 July 2025).
 
This Special Issue belongs to the section “Computing and Artificial Intelligence”
 
Special Issue Information:
Eye tracking constitutes a powerful technology which can be used for the examination of visual behavior and strategy during the observation of different types of (audio)visual stimuli presented either on a digital monitor, in the physical (real world) space, as well as in a virtual/augmented reality environment. At the same time, eye tracking has the potential to enhance the human–computer interaction experience by providing the ability to manipulate modern digital devices with human eyes. Nowadays, considering the huge amount of eye tracking applications available in various and different scientific/research and professional domains, gaze data collection, analysis, visualization, and modeling face several challenges. Such challenges mainly include the manipulation of big gaze data, the performance of remote (through the internet) experimentation, the semantic extraction of valuable knowledge from collected gaze data, gaze data synchronization during combined implementation with other experimental techniques, and real-time and/or post-experimental data collection using low-cost solutions (including webcams).
 
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality original research papers, review studies, and short communications in any field connected to eye tracking research and technology. There is no restriction on the length of the submitted manuscripts. New techniques, methods, procedures, experimental frameworks, and applications related to eye tracking technology and analysis are welcome. Moreover, authors are encouraged to share innovative and open source software (e.g., a toolbox) for gaze data recording, processing, analysis, and/or visualization, as well as open access and well-documented eye tracking datasets acquired over diverse or original types of visual stimuli or conditions.
 
More specifically, potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
– Research on eye tracking hardware development
– Low-cost eye tracking solutions
– Event detection algorithms in eye tracking data
– Gaze data analysis and visualization software
– Eye tracking in laboratory, real world, and web environment
– Human–computer interaction applications
– Gaze datasets
– Eye tracking studies and applications in different research domains
We welcome comprehensive and systematic literature reviews on any of the aforementioned topics.
 
Keywords: eye tracking; eye movements; eye movement events detection; gaze data analysis; gaze data modeling; gaze data visualization; eye tracking hardware; eye tracking datasets; eye tracking data toolboxes; gaze interaction; webcam eye tracking; low-cost eye tracking

SKITB VISUAL TRACKING CHALLENGE
at the 3rd Workshop on Computer Vision for Winter Sports (CV4WS)
https://sites.google.com/unitn.it/cv4ws-wacv2025
in conjunction with
IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV) 2025
(https://wacv2025.thecvf.com/)
CHALLENGE WEBSITE 

OVERVIEW
We are excited to announce the SkiTB Visual Tracking Challenge, part of the CV4WS workshop at WACV 2025. This challenge focuses on tracking skiers' performances across multiple camera views in complex, real-world winter sports environments. Participants will design trackers capable of following a skier throughout a performance, starting with the bounding box in the first frame and localizing the skier in all subsequent frames.

The challenge leverages the SkiTB dataset, featuring: 300 multi-camera professional skiing videos; 352,978 annotated frames; Full HD videos in dynamic, snowy outdoor environments. This dataset offers a unique opportunity to test tracking models on complex scenarios typical of winter sports.

IMPORTANT DATES
  • December 1, 2024: challenge open
  • January 31, 2025: submission due
  • February 7, 2025: technical report due
Workshop date:
  • February 28 or March 3 or 4, 2025

PARTICIPATION
Detailed instructions on how to participate are available on the challenge page: 

We encourage researchers and practitioners in computer vision to participate in this exciting challenge. Selected teams will be invited to present their solutions at the workshop, with opportunities for further publication in a special journal issue.


We look forward to your submissions!
