Workshop on Psychology of Face and Gesture Recognition

IEEE自动人脸和手势识别会议是最负盛名的国际会议，完全致力于人脸和手势识别。这是IEEE TC-PAMI在美国、韩国、法国和日本举办的系列会议中的第七次会议，这是其首次访问英国。自动识别研究的一个传统思想来源是对人类识别机制的研究。人类机制的研究目前是一个快速发展的领域，如手势识别的神经机制、为这种识别服务的线索和面部感知的分布式大脑机制的阐明。为了聚焦共同目标，并突出机器和人类识别研究之间转移的潜力，我们提议由10位心理学和神经科学专家主持的研讨会与主要会议同时进行。这是会议历史上第一次举办这样的活动，我们请求支持，以协助资助演讲者的旅行和住宿。

The IEEE Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition is the most prestigious international conference entirely devoted to face and gesture recognition. This is the 7th conference in the series arranged by IEEE TC-PAMI and having been held in the US, Korea, France and Japan, this is its first visit to the UK. One traditional source of ideas for research in automatic recognition is the study of human mechanisms for recognition. The study of human mechanisms is currently a fast moving area with developments in such areas as neural mechanisms for gesture recognition, cues sub serving this recognition and elucidation of distributed brain mechanisms for face perception. To help bring into focus the common goals and highlight the potential for transfer between the study of machine and human recognition we propose a workshop given by 10 experts from psychology and neuroscience to run concurrently with the main meeting. This is the first time such an event has been held in the history of the conference and we request support to assist in funding speaker travel and accommodation.
