Preliminary Program for PBMCV'95

Vision List Digest: Article 7, Volume 14, Issue 16
From: dnm@graphics.upenn.edu (Dimitris Metaxas)
Post-Followup: submission@VISLIST.com

The following is the preliminary program for the 1995 IEEE Workshop on
Physics-Based Modeling in Computer Vision. This is the first time
that a workshop is offered which covers all aspects of physics-based
modeling. With this workshop we are attempting to foster dialogue and
debate on current and open research problems through the two panels
and the presentation of high quality previously unpublished research
papers. The topics span the areas of dynamic shape/motion modeling,
image formation models, and applications in biomedicine and other areas.

The workshop will be held in conjunction with the International
Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV'95) on June 18 and 19 in
Cambridge, MA. Information about registration (May 15 is the deadline
for reduced rates) and accommodation for the workshop has been
previously posted (see postings for ICCV'95), and can be requested by
contacting:
gmfitz@mit.edu, or dnm@central.cis.upenn.edu
