Workshop on Developer-Centred Computer Vision (DCCV 2012), in
conjunction with ACCV 2012
Web site: http://www.openvl.org/DCCV/
There has been a relatively recent surge in the number of developer
interfaces to computer vision becoming available: OpenCV has become much
more popular, Mathworks have released a Matlab Computer Vision Toolbox,
visual interfaces such as Vision-on-Tap are online and working, and
specific targets such as tracking (OpenTL) and GPU (Cuda, OpenVIDIA)
have working implementations. Additionally, in the last six months
Khronos (the not-for-profit industry consortium which creates and
maintains open standards) has formed a working group to discuss the
creation of a computer vision hardware abstraction layer (CV HAL).
Developing methods to make computer vision accessible poses many
interesting HCI questions and will require novel approaches to the
problems. This one day workshop will bring together researchers in the
fields of HCI and Vision to discuss the state-of-the-art and the
direction of research. There will be peer-reviewed demos and papers,
with three oral presentation sessions and a poster session. We invite
the submission of original, high quality research papers and demos on
accessible computer vision. Areas of interest include (but not limited to):
Higher-level abstractions of vision algorithms
Algorithm/Task/User level API design
Automatic/interactive algorithm selection based on human input
Automatic/interactive task selection based on human input
Interpretation of user input such as descriptions, sketches, images or
video
Case-studies on developer-centred computer vision
Visual development environments for vision system construction
Evaluation of vision interfaces (e.g. through user studies)
Important Dates:
Paper submission: 31st August 2012
Notification of acceptance: 30th September 2012
Camera-ready papers: 10th October 2012
Workshop date: 5th or 6th November 2012
Workshop Organisers:

Submission:
Submission will be through the CMT submission system, and the ACCV
author kit should be used. The standards for submission are the same as
for ACCV.
