First International Workshop on Computer Vision for Human-Robot Interaction (CVforHRI 2010)
held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2010
For robots in human-populated environments, computer vision and human-robot interaction (HRI) can be highly complementary pursuits. Capable computer vision algorithms for tasks such as person detection, pose estimation, scene understanding or object recognition can facilitate a wide array of HRI systems which have only been teleoperated in the past. On the other hand, HRI tasks can elucidate the important features of computer vision algorithms, use human interaction to improve algorithm performance, and give those algorithms a larger context. Human-robot cooperation can even simplify computer vision tasks by improving viewing conditions. This half-day workshop will bring together researchers in the computer vision and HRI communities to share information about the state-of-the-art in each discipline, as well as discuss future directions of collaboration. Workshop Schedule - June 14, 2010 (2:00pm-6:00pm)
Call For PapersPapers should present high-quality research in computer vision techniques aimed at enabling human-robot interactions, or high-quality HRI research that makes use of state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms. Survey papers which include both computer vision and HRI literature are also welcome. Preference will be given to papers that address interaction as opposed to passive observation. We encourage algorithms that can be implemented on a robot or otherwise mobile platforms. We welcome multi-modal algorithms that combine camera information with other robot sensors. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
