The 1st International Workshop on Developer-Centred Computer Vision in conjunction with ACCV 2012 will be a half-day workshop: it will open with a talk by the OpenVL team on the state of the art in computer vision for mainstream developers, followed by 7 oral presentations of the work published by the workshop in LNCS. There were 21 submissions to the workshop in total (33% acceptance rate). More details can be found in the DCCV programme.

Paper submission guidelines for DCCV are the same as for ACCV, except the maximum paper length is 12 pages. Submission is through the CMT system at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/DCCV2012/, and detailed instructions for DCCV 2012 have been posted.

Dual submission of a paper with ACCV is allowed: when submitting a paper to ACCV by 1st July, you may choose a workshop for dual submission. If the paper is rejected from ACCV, it will be considered by the committee for presentation at the workshop. You may also submit your paper directly to the workshop by 31st August, however dual submission on this date is not permitted.

All of the workshops held in association with ACCV 2012 will have their peer-reviewed proceedings published in LNCS alongside the ACCV proceedings. More details to follow.

Workshop on Developer-Centred Computer Vision (DCCV 2012), in conjunction with ACCV 2012

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 questions and will require novel approaches to the problems. This one day workshop will bring together researchers in the fields of Vision and HCI 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)

The first workshop on Developer-Centred Computer Vision will be hosted by the 2012 Asian Conference on Computer Vision. Details on topics, submission, dates and the venue will be posted shortly.
