SPECIAL SESSION
SURF-FACES Special Session on Understanding Faces through Features, Analysis, Cognition, Expression and Semantics
Abstract
Second only to language, faces are the most common form of communication used by people. Faces convey information such as identity, gender, family relations, emotion and attention, and the study of the human face has been a focus for many applications and research fields. This special session is designed to bring together experts in faces from different specializations and applications. The goal of this special session is to provide a medium for researchers to discuss faces from a variety of application and research paradigms.
For this special session, we seek to attract contributions representing leading research in faces. Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Automatic Face Detection
- Face Tracking
- Face Recognition
- Face Descriptors (gender, ethnicity, eye contact, and others)
- Expression Recognition
- 3D Faces
- Face Representations and Modeling
- Human Face Perception
- Face Avatars
- New Applications Using Faces
- Faces for Human-Computer Interaction
- Applications in Social Networks
- Face Animation
- Biometric Applications
- Surveillance
- Education
Biography of the Presenter
Dr. Dirk Colbry joined ASU in 2007 as an assistant research professor within the School of Computing and Informatics. Colbry is working within the Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing (CUbiC), where his research focuses on pattern recognition and machine vision.
Dr. Colbry's principle areas of research include machine vision and pattern recognition (specializing in biometrics, face recognition and related security applications), and cognitive science. Recent projects include developing a commercially-viable 3D face verification system; adapting pattern recognition processes for tire engineering; and exploring the navigation strategies of humans and animals. Dr. Colbry has taught a range of courses in computer science, including microprocessors, artificial intelligence, compilers, and courses in programming and algorithm analysis.
