Call for Proposals FG- 2024


 

The Steering Board of the IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG) invites proposals to host the 2024 edition of the conference, preferably around May-June 2024.

IEEE FG 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, computer graphics; machine learning techniques relevant to face, gesture and body motion; new algorithms and applications in behavioral science and affective computing.

FG 2023 will be the 18th in a series that began in 1995 in Zurich, Switzerland. In keeping with past rotations between the Americas, Europe, and Asia, preference for FG 2023 will be given to proposals from Europe. FG 2021 is organized in India as a fully virtual event (http://iab-rubric.org/fg2021/) in December, and FG 2023 is planned to be held in Guangzhou, China. There will be no FG held in 2022.
