CVPR 2023 Workshop on Ethical Considerations in Creative applications of Computer Vision: Call for Submissions

March 29th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise
Third Workshop on Ethical Considerations in Creative applications of Computer Vision (EC3V) at CVPR 2023
On behalf of the entire organizing committee, I am pleased to announce the Third Workshop on Ethical Considerations in Creative Applications of Computer Vision (EC3V) at CVPR 2023. Our primary goal is to establish a dynamic platform for interdisciplinary discussions on the ethical implications of computer vision, bringing together experts from diverse fields such as computer vision research, socio-technical research, policy-making, social sciences, art, and other cultural domains.

We solicit short papers that explore the development and application of computer vision techniques in creative fields, with a particular focus on fashion, art, and design. Accepted short papers will be made available on the workshop's official webpage. The submission should be between two and eight pages in length (excluding references). We encourage submission of work that has been previously published, and ongoing projects related to the workshop's theme. Accepted papers will be presented at the poster session. Manuscripts should adhere to the CVPR 2023 template and be submitted via our CMT portal.

Submission deadline:
We have extended the deadline for paper submissions to April 17th. For further information, please visit our website at: https://sites.google.com/view/ec3v-cvpr2023/home

Submission portal:
You can submit your paper here: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/EC3V2023

I would greatly appreciate your assistance in sharing this message with researchers and artists who might be interested in exploring the ethical considerations of computer vision tools, including but not limited to generative models like text-to-image models and generative art. We are particularly keen to welcome submissions from researchers in disciplines outside of computer vision, encouraging them to submit papers and participate in the workshop. Please find a detailed list of topics we are interested in at the following link: https://sites.google.com/view/ec3v-cvpr2023/paper-track

We wholeheartedly look forward to your participation in EC3V and are excited to facilitate a stimulating interdisciplinary dialogue. By working together, we can enhance our collective understanding of the ethical implications inherent in the creative applications of computer vision, ultimately contributing to a more responsible and informed progression within the field.

Free Webinar by Dr. Ran He on Heterogeneous Face Recognition

March 29th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise

The IEEE Biometrics Council invites participants to the upcoming (free)
webinar by Prof. Ran He on “Heterogeneous Face Recognition”. Detail on
the webinar are given below:

Title: Heterogeneous Face Recognition
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Ran He, National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition,
CASIA, China
When: 29 March 2023, at 10am Beijing time (4 am CEST, for US: March 28 –
9 pm CST, 10pm EST)
Where: Online (Zoom)
Registration: (free, but required):
https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QhsNRSWRQTOP3KJXkWVVVw

*** Talk Summary ***
Ubiquitous vision sensors not only facilitate the wide application of
face recognition but also generate various heterogeneous sets of facial
images. Matching faces across different sensing modalities raises the
problem of heterogeneous face recognition (HFR) or cross domain face
recognition. Due to significant difference in sensing processes,
heterogeneous images of the same subject have large appearance
variations, which has distinguished HFR from regular visible face
recognition. During last several years, our research group have
investigated a range such problems and developed applications. This talk
will focus on research and recent advances of heterogeneous face
recognition, including fundamental models, face recognition method and
recognition from synthesis.

*** About the Speaker ***
Dr. Ran He received the PhD degrees in pattern recognition and
intelligence system from Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of
Sciences (CASIA), China, in 2009. He has been a professor at National
Laboratory of Pattern Recognition since December, 2016. He is now
directing the visual perception and machine learning group. He has
published two books and more than 200 papers in refereed journals and
conference proceedings in the areas of computer vision, pattern
recognition, and image processing. He is the editor board member of IEEE
TIP, IEEE T-BIOM and Pattern Recognition. He was the area chair of
CVPR/ECCV/ICML/NeurIPS. His research won IEEE SPS Young Author Best
Paper Award (2020), IAPR ICPR Best Scientific Paper Award (2020), and
IEEE ICB Honorable Mention Paper Award (2019). He is the 2022 recipient
of CAS Outstanding Tutor Award. He is a senior member of the IEEE and
also a Fellow of IAPR.

TITLE: Holographic visualization: signal processing and technological
challenges

ABSTRACT:3D visualization has received increased attention in recent
years, significantly boosted by the advent of new AR/VR/XR display
devices and the metaverse paradigm. However, current display solutions
based on – for example – stereoscopic or light field representations
still depict significant shortcomings regarding, e.g., supported viewing
angle and eye accommodation. Using the holographic modality instead
might bring a solution to the encountered problems. Though the term
holography is often misused because of marketing reasons – the name is
often linked with ideal 3D visualization solutions – real holography
uses a wave-based light propagation model instead of the ray-based
models used for regular 3D visualization systems.
Notwithstanding the big promises of holography and the evolution of the
underlying supporting technologies, the challenges of bringing this
technology to the professional and consumer markets are still huge.
This talk will focus on the challenges related to the generation,
processing, coding, and quality assessment of holographic content in
combination with the underlying computation, optoelectronic, optical and
photonics hardware. In this context, also the status of JPEG Pleno,
currently defining the first international standard for coding of
holographic content, will be discussed.

BIO: Peter Schelkens received his degree in electronic engineering in
VLSI-design from the Industriële Hogeschool Antwerpen- Mechelen (IHAM),
Campus Mechelen, in 1991. After that, he obtained an electrical
engineering degree (MSc) in applied physics (1994), a biomedical
engineering postgraduate degree with a specialization in medical physics
(1995), and, finally, a Ph.D. degree in applied sciences (2001) from the
Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).
Peter Schelkens currently holds a professorship at the Department of
Electronics and Informatics (ETRO) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel
(VUB), Belgium. He is also affiliated with the Interuniversity Institute
for Microelectronics (imec) in Leuven, Belgium, where he is currently
active as principal investigator.
The research interests of Peter Schelkens are situated in the field of
multidimensional signal processing encompassing the representation,
communication, security, rendering and quality assessment of these
signals. In 2013 he was awarded an EU ERC Consolidator Grant focusing on
digital holography.
Peter Schelkens has published over 300 papers in journals and conference
proceedings, and he holds several patents. His team participates in the
ISO/IEC JTC1 /SC 29/WG 1 (JPEG) standardization activities. Since 2018,
he has been rapporteur/chair of the JPEG Coding, Test and Quality
Subgroup and he is actively involved in coordinating the JPEG PLENO
standardization activity. He is currently also convenor of ISO/IEC JTC1
/SC 29/AG 4 coordinating the collaboration between JPEG and MPEG
communities.
Peter Schelkens is associate editor of Elsevier Signal Processing: Image
Communication, AOP JPhys Photonics, Springer Journal of Quality and User
Experience, and Light: Advanced Manufacturing. He has been previously
associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video
Technology.
