The IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG) is the premier international forum for research in image- and video-based face, gesture, and body movement recognition. Its broad scope covers fundamental advances in computer vision, pattern recognition, computer graphics, machine learning, behavioral analysis, affective computing, and related applications. FG 2027 is the 21st edition of the conference and will be held in Marrakech, Morocco, between 26–30 April 2027. The conference is co-sponsored by the IEEE Biometrics Council and the IEEE Computer Society.

The organizing committee of FG 2027 invites submissions of original and unpublished research papers addressing theoretical, methodological, and applied advances in automatic face, gesture, and body analysis.

Topics of Interest

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Face, gesture, and body detection and tracking
  • Face recognition, gesture recognition, and human identification
  • Robust recognition under varying conditions, including pose, occlusion, and illumination
