Call for Papers
The First International Workshop on Human Behavior Sensing (HBS2010)
June 15, 2010
Held in conjunction with The 7th International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems http://www.inss-conf.org/ Kassel, Germany
====================================================================
Sensing of humans, specifically human actions and behaviors, is an important topic that plays an important role in many applications / fields such as surveillance, security, marketing, Intelligent Transport Systems, human interface, etc. Many researchers have been dealing with this topic, and recent improvements of sensing devices, computers, and network technologies are opening up the new era of human sensing technologies.
This workshop focuses on human behavior sensing, taking advantage of network technologies. Vision sensors have been most widely used for this purpose. In this workshop, we welcome studies that use any kind of sensor, such as range sensors, audio sensors, infrared sensors, some wearable sensors, and of course vision sensors such as stereo cameras. Studies on fundamental techniques and applications to special issues are both welcome. Additionally, any kind of human behaviors or strategies to observe them are in the scope of this workshop.
Topics of interest (but not limited to):
Any topic related to human behavior sensing * Sensors - Vision sensors - Image processing - Stereo camera - Range data - Infrared sensor - Sound sensors - Wearable sensors - Social sensing
* Frameworks - Sensor Networking - Distributed sensing - Sensor fusion / integration - Modeling of human behavior - Human action simulation
* Applications - Welfare / Health care - Surveillance / Security - Management / Performance evaluation - Intelligent room / space - Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) - Robotics - Sports science - Industry
Submissions:
Authors are invited to submit a paper of 4-8 pages describing their original works. All papers should be formatted according to the "IEEE transactions" as INSS main conference. Please send your papers (PDF file) to umeda@mech.chuo-u.ac.jp by e-mail. Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings.
