Workshop on Computer Vision for Interactive and Intelligent Environments (CV4IIE 2005) : 17-18 November 2005/Lexington, Kentucky

Progress in several different areas of computer vision promises a future in which a virtual world is seamlessly integrated with our everyday environments. Users may one day be immersed in an interactive space that supports everyday tasks through tracking over wide areas, person identification and activity and gesture recognition. These spaces may cover entire buildings that will be augmented with information using virtual interfaces projected on potentially any surface, and even virtual objects that are rendered into a physical scene as opposed to the traditional models of human-computer interaction. CV4IIE 2005 explores this view of the future by bringing together top researchers who are exploring ideas related to the theme of the workshop and to stimulate research in the next revolution in computing. The proceedings focuses on the unique computer vision challenges related to the problem domain. This collection of papers represents some of the work being performed and is indicative of the progress towards a future of seamless integration of the information and physical spaces.IEEE Computer Society Staff is the author of 'Workshop on Computer Vision for Interactive and Intelligent Environments (CV4IIE 2005) : 17-18 November 2005/Lexington, Kentucky', published 2006 under ISBN 9780769525242 and ISBN 0769525245.
