FGnet is the European working group on face and gesture recognition funded by the E.C.IST program.The objectives of FGnet are to of encourage development of a technology for face and gesture recognition. The network goals are:

(1) to assist development face and gesture recognition technology

(2) to create a set of foresight reports defining development roadmaps and future use scenarios for the technology in the medium (5-7 years) and long (10-20 years) term

(3) to specify, develop and supply resources (eg image sets) supporting these scenarios

This web site is maintained by FGnet as a tool for internal communication and as a means of providing information and results to the larger scientific community.
