 Second International Conference on 
Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition 
 
 
 
Automatic face and gesture   recognition has rapidly developed into  a
highly active field  of research with  application potential in  areas
such as contactless man-machine interaction, access control, automatic
search   in   visual databases,  and   very-low  bit-rate compression.
Consequently, this international conference series has been created to
provide an international forum  for research on image- and video-based
face recognition, facial expression  recognition, and hand gesture and
body movement analysis.
 
Contributions  are invited    in analysis  by  synthesis   techniques,
acquisition     of  articulated  shape    models,  deformable  models,
illumination invariant segmentation and recognition, analysis of face,
gesture and gait  movements, model-based methods  for shape and motion
estimation,     feature identification,  physics-based      modelling,
contactless  man-machine  interfaces   and   interaction with  virtual
worlds, very-low bit-rate encoding, face and person identification for
access control  and other  applications,  as  well as   other  related
topics.
