Contributions are solicited in the following two categories:

Category A: Novel approaches for face detection

Papers in this category should present novel scientific contributions in face detection. We are particularly interested in the domain of unconstrained faces in which faces are not presented in a laboratory controlled setting. Some specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Novel approaches for multi-pose face detection.
• New algorithms for learning multi-pose face detectors from faces without pose labels.
• Robust face detection using scene-context.
• Computational issues in face detection.
• Evaluation of face detection algorithms -- both in terms of useful metrics and experiments.
• Techniques for face detection inspired by human vision.
• Joint detection and segmentation of face regions.
• Joint face detection and head-pose estimation.
• Novel application domains for face detection.

We encourage the papers in this category to include results on the FDDB database, although this is not essential for publication.

Category B: Face detection benchmark

The goal of these submissions is to compare algorithms for the unconstrained face detection problem, and should present results on the FDDB benchmark, which is available at FDDB page. Authors may submit either a short paper or a regular paper in this category.

For short papers (two pages or less), the authors need only include face detection results, as described on the FDDB webpage. These results will be summarized and described by the organizers during the workshop. Authors may give a short description of their methods or refer to other publications which give the details of the algorithms used. Short papers will not appear as separate publications in the workshop proceedings, but will be described collectively in a single summary article describing results on the benchmark.

For regular papers (of standard ECCV format and length), authors should provide the details of the algorithms. The authors are highly encouraged to provide a link to their implementation (or an executable), but it is not a requirement for submission. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of the workshop.
