+ | Human Centered Computing (HCC) is an emerging field that aims at | ||
+ | bridging the existing gaps between the various disciplines involved | ||
+ | with the design and implementation of computing systems that support | ||
+ | people's activities. HCC aims at tightly integrating human sciences | ||
+ | (e.g. social and cognitive) and computer science (e.g. human-computer | ||
+ | interaction (HCI), signal processing, machine learning, and computer | ||
+ | vision) for the design of computing systems with a human focus from | ||
+ | beginning to end. This presentation will address the existing | ||
+ | challenges in HCC and will focus on real-time and robust solutions for | ||
+ | eye detection and tracking, head pose estimation and their | ||
+ | applications to gaze estimation, attention detection and personality. | ||

+ | Nicu Sebe is with the University of Trento, Italy, where he is the | ||
+ | dean of the doctoral school in ICT and is leading the research in the | ||
+ | areas of multimedia information retrieval and human-computer | ||
+ | interaction in computer vision applications. He was involved in the | ||
+ | organization of the major conferences and workshops addressing the | ||
+ | computer vision and human-centered aspects of multimedia information | ||
+ | retrieval, among which as a General Co-Chair of the IEEE Automatic | ||
+ | Face and Gesture Recognition Conference, FG 2008, ACM International | ||
+ | Conference on Image and Video Retrieval (CIVR) 2007 and 2010. He is | ||
+ | the general chair of ACM Multimedia 2013, a program chair of ECCV 2016 | ||
+ | and was a program chair of ACM Multimedia 2011 and 2007. He has been a | ||
+ | visiting professor in Beckman Institute, University of Illinois at | ||
+ | Urbana-Champaign and in the Electrical Engineering Department, | ||
+ | Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany. He is a co-chair of the | ||
+ | IEEE Computer Society Task Force on Human-centered Computing and is an | ||
+ | associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, Computer Vision | ||
+ | and Image Uniderstanding, Machine Vision and Applications, Image and | ||
+ | Vision Computing, and of Journal of Multimedia. |
