INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON OBJECT REPRESENTATION FOR COMPUTER VISION

(Preceeding ECCV'96)

An international workshop on object representation for computer vision
will be held at the University of Cambridge, England, on April 13-14th,
preceeding ECCV'96 which begins on April 15th.
Technical contributions are sought in all relevant areas of computer
vision, including (but not restricted to) the following:
o Shape models o Quasi invariants
o Appearance models o Automatic model acquisition
o Functional models o Indexing and recognition
o Object-class models o Representational issues
o Part decompositions in applications
Background:
In December of 1994, a workshop co-sponsored by NSF and ARPA was held
in New York City. Its goal was to evaluate current approaches to
object representation and to identify important issues and promising
research directions.
The 1996 Cambridge workshop is a follow-up to the 1994 New York
workshop. Its goals are:
o to present a state of the art of the research on object representation
for object recognition;
o to assess the progress achieved in key areas identified during the
first workshop, e.g., part decomposition and quasi invariants; and,
o to explore the representational issues involved in applications that
go beyond traditional object recognition, e.g., image databases,
manufacturing, medical imaging, or virtual reality.
Format:
The workshop will consist of three half-day sessions, each of them
including an invited lecture, presentations of accepted papers, and a
panel.
To facilitate discussions, the attendance to the workshop will be
limited to a hundred participants. Submitted papers will be reviewed
by an international program committee.
The proceedings (including the contributed papers and a summary
of the panel discussions) will be published after the workshop
and sent to all the workshop participants.
The workshop will be held just prior to ECCV'96 at the University of
Cambridge, and accommodation will be at Jesus College.
