Special Session: RGB-D (Xbox-Kinect) application competition

Descriptions:
The goal of this special session is to provide a competition for computer vision researchers to present novel ideas and/or computer vision applications related to RGB-D camera such as Xbox Kinect. The Xbox Kinect is a new game hardware developed by Microsoft that consists of a depth camera and a stereo camera. The Xbox Kinect has drawn a lot of attentions, not only in game industry, but also in computer vision research community. There is also a growing interest to use input from Xbox for doing computer vision task, such as tracking, human pose estimation. By organizing this special session in ACCV 2012, we aim to provide a platform for computer vision researchers to present their preliminary ideas and results related to RGB-D cameras.

Date: 6 November 14:30 – 18:00
Venue: 1F Lobby, DaejeonConvention Center



Award Winner:
Best Kinect Application Award:
        Kinect Reality: Real-time 3D Scanning Based Augmented Reality
        presented by Junho Jeon, Daehoon Yoo, Chiyoung Lee, Hyunjoon Lee, Junho Kim, Seungyong Lee
Best Kinect Application Award (First Runner-up):
        Full Scale Fashion Coordinate System for Online Shopping,
        presented by Yasuyuki Hayashi, Soh Masuko

Prize (Sponsored by Microsoft):
        First prize: 800 USD
        First Runner-up: 200 USD

Format of the competition:
The competition is a peer evaluated competition. Each participate will be asked to give a poster presentation and/or demo during the special session event in the ACCV2012. The attendants of ACCV 2012 will vote for the winner of this competition. There is no limitation about the application domains, the only requirement is that participates must use aRGB-Dcamera, e.g. Xbox Kinect, as one of their input device.

Authors preparing the special session:

A poster board (Same size as the poster board for poster presentation in regular paper) and a 3-meters table with power supply will be assigned to each group. Video monitor will be provided upon request for video demo.
