Workshop on Psychology of Face and Gesture Recognition

IEEE自动人脸和手势识别会议是完全致力于人脸和手势识别的最负盛名的国际会议。这是IEEE TC-Pami安排的系列会议中的第七次，此前已在美国、韩国、法国和日本举行，这是它第一次访问英国。研究自动识别的一个传统思想来源是研究人类的识别机制。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，以及解释分布式大脑的面孔感知机制。为了帮助聚焦共同目标并突出机器和人类识别研究之间的转移潜力，我们提议举办一次研讨会，由来自心理学和神经科学的10名专家主持，与主要会议同时举行。这是会议历史上第一次举行这样的活动，我们请求提供支持，以协助资助演讲者的旅费和住宿。

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.
