There is an increasing demand for robots and intelligent systems that co-exist with and support humans in their everyday life. A key to realize such robots and systems is reliable perception of humans. They can behave intelligently and effectively by reliably detecting humans and understanding their behaviors, identities, and physical/mental states.
Visual and sensor-based perception of humans has been an important research area in robotics, and its application area is expanding, accelerated by recent progress of machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks. This full-day workshop brings together researchers and industry engineers working on novel approaches and applications / practical applications of perception of humans.
The goal of the workshop is to recognize the state-of-the-art of human perception research and to discuss its future directions and potential application scenarios. The workshop consists of several invited talks by leading researchers and oral and poster presentations of contributed papers.
Research and application papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following area topics:
- human detection and tracking
- person re-identification
- human pose estimation
- face detection and recognition
- gesture recognition
- human anomaly detection for care and service robots
- human behavior analysis and surveillance
- human-robot interaction and collaboration
- perception of humans for mobile robots and self-driving cars
- deep learning-based approaches to perception of humans
- systems and software tools for perception of humans
- human detection and recognition in/for industrial scenarios
Selected contributed papers are to be invited to a special issue on
"robot perception of humans" of Robotics journal (ISSN 2218-6581)
