People Location Dates Proceedings Submission Program Author Instructions

"Cues 2001" provides an international forum to discuss computational techniques to observe, analyze, or facilitate human-human or human-machine communication. In particular, the role of cues in communication is explored. Since the workshop is held in conjunction with CVPR, it provides an excellent opportunity to examine the visual aspects of communication. The workshop also includes a discussion of other modalities, for example, speech-based systems, or systems that relate verbal cues to hand gestures and facial expressions. Invited speakers include senior researchers in the field of communication with backgrounds in linguistics, psychology, education, assistive technology, and computer vision. Invited speakers who confirmed their participation are Justine Cassell, Adam Kendon, and Carol Neidle.

Contributions for oral and poster presentations are invited in the areas of
  • Detection of visual communication cues
  • Spatio-temporal models for face and hand motion
  • Verbal and non-verbal aspects of human communication
  • Semiotic gesture detection
  • Facial expression recognition
  • Multi-modal communication
  • Communication interfaces for people with disabilities
  • Hand gesture analysis
  • Analysis of American sign language
  • Use of gestures in discourse
  • Analysis of speech, intonation, and facial expressions
  • Video-based real-time tracking of facial features
  • Gestural interaction with virtual worlds
  • Animation techniques for communicating synthetic humans
and related topics. Photos courtesy of the National Center for Sign Language and Gesture Resources (top) and the Camera Mouse Project (bottom).
