GENERAL INFORMATION:

Image and face recognition is fast becoming a familiar feature in apps and on websites, potentially making life easier for all of us. Many applications and fields are targeted by robust recognition such as security, access control, social media, etc. Conventional techniques are improved or combined with intelligent tools to overcome constraints of face position, hidden or environment conditions related to luminosity, noise and other. As an extension to this field, emotion recognition and analysis has been extensively researched in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science and computer science. Combined with face recognition, these two fields become necessary for many new industrial and applications. Within the framework of the 2018 41st International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP) held during July 4-6, 2018 in Athens, Greece, we invite you to present and discuss advances in the research and development face recognition and emotion detection. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Face identification and recognition
- Biometrics & Authentication
- Video tracking
- Robust identification of hidden and truncated faces
- Bio-medical & Cognitive Science
- Human Action Analysis
- Gesture recognition
- Perception, Cognition and Psychophysiology of Gesture Interaction
- Kinect-based Kinematic Data Analysis and Evaluation for Clinical Applications
- Generalized Face Spoofing Detection in Real-World Applications
- Automatic Kinship Verification from Face
- Emotion identifying and classification
