The Ninth IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG 2011) will be held in Santa Barbara, California on March 21-25, 2011. The IEEE conference series on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition is the premier international forum for research in image and video-based face, gesture, and body movement recognition. The conference presents research that advances the state-of-the-art in these and related areas, leading to new capabilities in areas such as biometrics, interactive systems, surveillance, healthcare, and entertainment. The FG conference plays an important role in shaping related scientific, academic, and higher-education programs. For FG 2011, we are soliciting papers in all areas of face and gesture recognition, including:
- Age-related change in facial appearance
- Human communicative behavior analysis
- Multimodal and context-sensitive interfaces
- Vision-based human robot interaction
- Ambient intelligence
- Multi-modal sensing and novel sensing technologies
- Human action recognition
- Face and feature tracking
- Facial animation
- Active appearance and active shape models
- Learning feature spaces and manifolds
