CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Egocentric vision provides a unique perspective of the visual world that is inherently human-centric. Since egocentric cameras are mounted on the user (typically on the user's head), they are naturally primed to gather visual information from our everyday interactions. We believe that this human-centric characteristic of egocentric vision can have a large impact on the way we approach central computer vision tasks such as visual detection, recognition, prediction and socio-behavioral analysis.

By taking advantage of the first-person point-of-view paradigm, there have been recent advances in areas such as personalized video summarization, understanding concepts of social saliency, activity analysis with inside-out cameras (a camera to capture eye gaze and an outward-looking camera), recognizing human interactions and modeling focus of attention. However, in many ways we are as a community only beginning to understand the full potential (and limitations) of the first-person paradigm. In the workshop, we will bring together researchers to discuss emerging topics such as:

To this end, we invite submissions of papers (4-8 pages) and extended abstracts (2 pages, ongoing or published) in all fields of vision that explore the egocentric perspective, including, but not limited to:

The best paper award sponsored by Intel will be provided to the paper with the highest potential impact.
