CALL FOR PAPERS CONFERENCE on DIGITAL IMAGE STORAGE AND ARCHIVING SYSTEMS Philadelphia,PA October 26-27,1995 This conference is a part of SPIE's International Symposium on INFORMATION, COMMUNICATIONS, & COMPUTER TECHNOLOGIES, APPLICATIONS, & SYSTEMS To be held as part of Photonics East '95 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA 22-27 October 1995 This conference addresses aspects of an image archiving system, such as "specialized" compression schemes for storage, browsing, semantic searching, content-based retrieval, data preservation models, data modeling and representation, system design issues and applications. Papers are solicited in all areas of digital image storage and archival systems: - image and video archives/databases - design methodologies and system architectures for huge image archives - hierarchical storage design and management for scalable image and video on-demand databases - data transfer models for platform-independent Internet access via standard network tools - long-term preservation methodology and quality assurance management - lossless and near-lossless compression for archiving purposes - compression scheme supporting hierarchical browsing, e.g., multiresolution methods - methods facilitating sophisticated search mechanisms such as content-based retrieval, e.g., automatic/semiautomatic image object recognition, segmentation, image features corresponding to human perception, etc. - intelligent compression techniques which will enable semantic and perceptual searching on the compressed representation - data modeling and representation for images and features - fuzzy, object-oriented, feature-based, neural network and information theoretic approaches to image and video storage indexing and retrieval - domain-independent storage techniques and access/index structures for images, features and their logical representatives - measures for evaluating various aspects or components of an image archival system - actual experimental systems which embody the state of the art in image archival - methods related to querying an image archive, e.g., powerful query interfaces, algorithms for query processing, incorporation of user-relevance feedback to help iterative queries, etc. - applications and systems of image archives in areas such as telemedicine, remote sensing, GIS, multimedia, etc. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS Authors are invited to submit a 500 word abstract of each paper in one of the ways described below. Only original material should be submitted and abstracts should contain enough detail to clearly convey the approach the results of the research.
