Over the course of the last 10-20 years the field of computer vision has been preoccupied with the problem of looking at people. Hundreds, if not thousands, of papers have been published on the subject that span face detection, pose estimation, tracking, activity recognition, etc. This tutorial is designed to give an introduction to and assessment of state-of-the-art in this very active field. The tutorial builds on the book: Visual Analysis of Humans: Looking at People published by Springer in 2012. The book is a collection of chapters that are written by the top experts in the field; the organizers of the tutorial are also the editors of the upcoming book. The list of contributing authors and content of the book can be found here. The book is intended to serve the dual purpose of being a reference and a tutorial to the people entering the field. Because this tutorial is an extension of this idea, it will similarly consists of a series of talks by experts in the corresponding fields. Tutorial will be broken down into 4 parts: (1) detection and tracking, (2) articulated pose estimation and tracking, (3) activity recognition, and (4) applications. In each part we will have 2-3 invited lecturers. Each invited lecturer will give a talk on a focused subject within a larger context of looking at people lasting roughly 35 minutes. The lectures will be geared towards general CV audience and will outline the key advances and future challenges in the problems involved. The rough schedule, list of the proposed invited lecturers, and the topics covered are listed below.
