CALL FOR PAPERS


________________

In the last decades, there has been a tremendous increase in demand for 
assistive technologies useful to overcome functional limitations of 
individuals. Novel tools have been successfully commercialised bringing 
the Computer Vision and Robotics research from theory to applications 
and then to market. The rapid progress in the development of integrated 
micro-mechatronic and computer vision has further boosted this process. 
The interest in this applied field is increasing due to the possibility 
to exploit advanced technologies coming from the results of traditional 
problems in Computer Vision (such as face analysis, tracking, detection 
and recognition, human behaviour analysis). However, many problems 
remain open, especially as regards environment perception and 
interaction of these technological tools with people. To address the 
open challenges, it is becoming increasingly common the use of deep 
learning approaches that have been exploited either to improve 
performance in the computer vision and robotics tasks, i.e. by 
inheriting the knowledge from the theoretic and methodological 
literature or to make a significant change to the assistive framework 
itself. In addition to deep learning, new learning paradigms (e.g., 
Generative Adversarial Networks) are radically changing this strategic 
research sector.

The main scope of ACVR 2019 is then to bring together researchers from 
the diverse fields of engineering, computer science, social and 
bio-medical science who investigate in the context of Computer Vision 
and Robotics in order to discuss the current and next generation of 
Assistive Technologies. The researchers will present their latest 
progress and discuss novel ideas in the field. Besides the technologies 
used, emphasis will be given to the precise problem definition, the 
available benchmark databases, the need for evaluation protocols and 
procedures in the context of Assistive Technologies.

Research papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following 
areas topics:

Augmentative and Alternative Communication


Human-Robot Interaction


Mobility Aids


Rehabilitation Aids


Home Healthcare


Technology for Cognition


Automatic Emotional Hearing and Understanding


Activity Monitoring Systems

____________
SUBMISSION AND REVISION
___________

All submissions will be handled electronically via the conference’s CMT 
Website: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ACVR2019
The format for paper submission is the same as the ICCV 2019 main 
conference. Please refer to ICCV 2019 author guidelines available at 
http://iccv2019.thecvf.com/submission/main_conference/author_guidelines
Specific instructions and guidelines for the ACVR workshop are available 
on the workshop website.
ACVR reviewing will be double-blind. Each submission will be reviewed by 
at least three reviewers for originality, significance, clarity, 
soundness, relevance and technical contents.
The paper length should match that intended for final publication.
Papers are limited to eight pages, including figures and tables, in the 
ICCV style. Additional pages containing only cited references are allowed.
Papers that are not properly anonymized, or do not use the template, or 
have more than eight pages (excluding references) will be rejected 
without review.
Authors may optionally submit additional material that was ready at the 
time of paper submission but could not be included due to constraints of 
format or space.
The authors should refer to the contents of the supplementary material 
appropriately in the paper. Reviewers will be encouraged to look at it, 
but are not obligated to do so.
Supplementary material may include videos, proofs, additional figures or 
tables, more detailed analysis of experiments presented in the paper.
All supplementary material must be self-contained and zipped into a 
single file.
