The workshop will take place on October 23rd, 2017 in Venice, Italy in conjunction with ICCV 17. The main goals of the workshop is to introduce a new large-scale benchmark for articulated pose estimation and tracking in real-world videos, and to discuss the current state of the art and future directions in visual human analysis.
The workshop will be organized around a challenge with three competition tracks focusing on single frame multi-person pose estimation, multi-person pose estimation in video, and multi-person articulated tracking. To facilitate such benchmark and challenge we collect, annotate and release a new dataset that features videos with multiple people labeled with person tracks, articulated pose and occlusion labels. A centralized evaluation server will be set up to allow participants to evaluate on a held-out test set. To participate in the PoseTrack 2017 Challenge you must: 1. By September 15, 2017, submit your results to the evaluation server, and 2. By September 22, 2017, submit a short paper of maximum 4 pages describing your method and your results on the PoseTrack benchmark. We encourage submissions based both on existing as well as novel techniques. The submitted short papers will be peer reviewed in a double-blind review process. The goal of the review process will be to verify that submissions (1) satisfy basic criteria of clarity and readability as expected from papers submitted to ICCV and (2) include description of results on the PoseTrack benchmark. Only submission entries that passed the peer review and will qualify for winning the challenge. The challenge winners be will offered an opportunity to present their results during the PoseTrack workshop and will be awarded prizes provided by our industry sponsor. We will also award an additional prize for the best paper describing a competition entry. Please refer to the 'important dates' section for submission deadlines. We are looking forward to seeing your submissions and to welcoming you in Venice.

DETECTING SYMMETRY IN THE WILD CALL FOR WORKSHOP PARTICIPATION A Challenge in conjunction with ICCV, October 28, 2017, Venice, Italy. Website: https://sites.google.com/view/symcomp17 Why: Regular or near-regular forms are commonplace in our surroundings as well as in micro- and macro-scaled worlds from molecules to galaxies. Discovery of such forms directly impacts our recognition, perception and (re)action in the real world. A recent survey indicates that in this critical aspect of cross-domain, cross-scale perception, computer vision is still largely behind human and animal vision, especially in robust real world near-regular pattern recognition. What: In this workshop, we focus on the computational symmetry aspect through a series of challenges in which competitors submit algorithms for detecting different types of symmetry in natural scenes, i.e., detecting "symmetry in the wild". We also invite various papers representing a number of tasks for which symmetry can play a critical role, including image/video editing, saliency/attention, 3D reconstruction, object recognition and segmentation, scene categorization, and urban scene parsing. Workshop Date: October 28, 2017 Call for Papers: ICPRAI 2018 To mark its 30th Anniversary, CENPARMI (Centre for Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence of Concordia University) is organizing an international conference on Pattern Recognition & Artificial Intelligence.
