Conf. on Intelligent Autonomous Systems)<br class=""><br class="">There is an increasing demand for robots and intelligent systems that<br class="">co-exist with and support humans in their everyday life. A key to<br class="">realize such robots and systems is reliable perception of humans. They<br class="">can behave intelligently and effectively by reliably detecting humans<br class="">and understanding their behaviors, identities, and physical/mental<br class="">states.<br class=""><br class="">Visual and sensor-based perception of humans has been an important<br class="">research area in robotics, and its application area is expanding,<br class="">accelerated by recent progress of machine learning algorithms and deep<br class="">neural networks. This full-day workshop brings together researchers and<br class="">industry engineers working on novel approaches and applications /<br class="">practical applications of perception of humans.<br class=""><br class="">The goal of the workshop is to recognize the state-of-the-art of human<br class="">perception research and to discuss its future directions and potential<br class="">application scenarios. The workshop consists of several invited talks<br class="">by leading researchers and oral and poster presentations of<br class="">contributed papers.<br class=""><br class="">Research and application papers are solicited in, but not limited to,<br class="">the following area topics:<br class=""> - human detection and tracking<br class=""> - person re-identification<br class=""> - human pose estimation<br class=""> - face detection and recognition<br class=""> - gesture recognition<br class=""> - human anomaly detection for care and service robots<br class=""> - human behavior analysis and surveillance<br class=""> - human-robot interaction and collaboration<br class=""> - perception of humans for mobile robots and self-driving cars<br class=""> - deep learning-based approaches to perception of humans<br class=""> - systems and software tools for perception of humans<br class=""> - human detection and recognition in/for industrial scenarios<br class=""><br class="">Selected contributed papers are to be invited to a special issue on<br class="">"robot perception of humans" of Robotics journal (ISSN 2218-6581)<br class=""><br class="">Important dates:<br class=""> Apr 15: Deadline of submission of contributed papers<br class=""> May 8: Notification of acceptance<br class=""> May 22: Submission of camera ready papers<br class=""> Jun 11: Workshop held at IAS-15<br class=""><br class="">Organizers:<br class=""><br class=""> Jun Miura (chair, Toyohashi University of Technology)<br class=""> Emanuele Menegatti (University of Padua)<br class=""> Nicola Bellotto (University of Lincoln)<br class=""> Stefano Ghidoni (University of Padua)<br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><div class="">
