The International Association for Pattern Recognition ( IAPR ), the Spanish Association for Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis ( AERFAI ) and the Mathematics and Computer Science Department of UIB are organising the fourth international conference AMDO Evolution 2006 that will take place in Puerto de Andratx, Mallorca . This conference is the natural evolution of the AMDO2004 workshop. The new goal of this conference is to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers working directly in the areas covered by the main tracks. The new perceptual user interfaces and the emerging technologies increase the relation between areas involved with human-computer interaction. The new perspective of the AMDO -e 2006 conference will be to strengthen the relationship between the many areas that have as key point the study of the human body using computer technologies as the main tool.

It is a great opportunity to encourage links between research in the areas of computer vision, computer graphics, advanced multimedia applications and multimodal interfaces that share common problems and frequently use similar techniques or tools. In this particular edition the related topics are divided in several parallel tracks, including the topics above proposed.

The AMDO -e 2006 will consist in three days of lecture sessions, both regular and invited presentations, a poster session and international tutorials.

TOPICS INCLUDE (but not restricted to):

Track 1: Computer Graphics (Human Modelling & Animation)
Track 2: Human Motion (Analysis, Tracking, 3D Reconstruction & Recognition)
Track 3: Multimodal User Interaction (VR & AR, Speech, Biometrics)
Track 4: Advanced Multimedia Systems (Standards, Indexed Video Contents)
