Conference Chairs: Robert A. Melter, Long Island University
                   Angela Y. Wu, The American University

Program Committee: 
Ari D. Gross (CUNY/Queens Coll. & Columbia Univ.); T. Y. Kong (CUNY/Queens

This conference is designed to bring together workers who use geometric theory
and techniques to solve problems related to computer vision.  Specific
solutions as well as overviews of more general topics are welcome.  

Topics of interest are:
    Digital geometry and topology               
    Morphology related to vision
    Computational geometry related to vision 
    Convexity problems in vision

Prospective contributors are invited to submit 250-word abstracts of their 
papers, in accordance with the instructions below, by December 19, 1994.

Authors will be allowed 15 minutes plus a 5-minute discussion period for oral
presentation of a paper.  SPIE will provide the following media equipment free
of charge: 35mm carousel slide projectors, overhead projectors, electric 
pointers, and video equipment (please give at least two weeks advance notice).
Provision will also be made for poster presentation; contributors who prefer 
this method should so indicate on abstract submissions.

Proceedings of this meeting will be published by SPIE.  Authors of accepted
abstracts will be notified by April 17, 1995, and will be required to submit 
camera-ready manuscripts in English by June 12, 1995.
