ChaLearn Looking at People
About us
Looking at People (LAP) is a challenging area of research that deals with the problem of recognizing people in images, their posture, performing action/gesture recognition from still images or image sequences, also considering multi-modal data, among others. Any scenario where the visual or multi-modal analysis of people takes place is of interest within the field of Looking at People. Several subareas of LAP have been recently defined, such as Affective Computing, Social Signal Processing, Human Behavior Analysis, Personality Computing or Social Robotics. The effort involved in this area of research will be compensated by its potential applications for good: intelligent assistive interfaces, TV production and home entertainment (multimedia content analysis), education purposes, sociology research, security, prevention/early diagnosis and rehabilitation/intervention of physical and/or mental diseases, artificial assistant and coaching for active aging, etc.
This page summarizes all previous, current, and upcoming events organized by the ChaLearn LAP team, including international workshops, competitions, special issues, books and other publications related to ChaLearn LAP events. Associated databases and their state-of-the-art results are also available. We would like to thank all the hundreds of participants that joined our events and that considerably help to advance in both theory and practice of LAP. We thank all of our collaborators that help to advance in the research of LAP from the required multi-disciplinary perspective. We thank our sponsors, including Microsoft Research, Google, NVIDIA Corportation, Disney Research, Facebook, and Amazon, among others.
