The goal of this workshop is to bring together an international forum of industrial, academic, and government researchers in order to present and discuss the application of computer vision techniques to various problem domains of practical significance. The intent is to foster a free exchange of ideas in order to promote the transfer of solutions from one application domain to another, and guide computer vision research in useful directions. The program will consist of high quality contributed papers covering computer vision applications that include, but are not limited to, manufacturing, inspection, medical analysis, security monitoring, human-computer interaction, document analysis, environmental protection, photo interpretation, highway/vehicle systems, target recognition, cartography, and space operations. Emphasis should be on novel research aspects and/or performance benchmarking for a given application task. SUBMISSIONS: Six (6) copies of papers should be submitted in English to the address below by June 1, 1994: Bruce Flinchbaugh, Texas Instruments MS 238, 13510 North Central Expressway, Dallas, TX 75243, U.S.A. Papers should be limited to 30 double-spaced pages, including figures, using no smaller than a 12 point font. Papers should include a title page containing the names and addresses of the authors, and an abstract of up to 200 words. Please also include a second title page with the abstract but without the names and addresses of the authors. Include a summary page -- no more than one page containing answers to the following questions (answer each question separately and in order; please number your answers): 1) What is the application area of the work reported in this paper? 2) How far has this work progressed to date? (Concept/theory only? Experimental implementation and evaluation? Performance benchmarked against other works? Being used in practice? Available as product?) 3) What is the primary significance/advantage/originality of this work? 4) How does this paper relate to previously published work?
