The IEEE conference series on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition is the premier international forum for research in image and video-based face, gesture, and body movement recognition. Its broad scope includes advances in fundamental computer vision, pattern recognition, and computer graphics; machine learning techniques relevant to face, gesture, and body motion; interdisciplinary research on behavioral analysis; new algorithms and applications. For this year, our conference theme is on privacy and ethical issues of FG research. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    Face recognition & biometrics
    Face analysis and synthesis
    Body action and activity recognition
    Gesture recognition, analysis, and synthesis
    Affective computing and multi-modal interaction
    Psychological and behavioral analysis
    Perceptual and cognitive aspects of non-verbal interaction
    Databases and tools for FG
    Technologies and applications related to FG
    Privacy and ethical issues of FG
