Dear Colleague,

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
