The British Machine Vision Conference is the main UK conference for machine
vision and related topics. High quality contributed papers are sought
describing recent and novel research in the areas of computer vision,
image analysis and processing or pattern recognition. Papers describing
research being undertaken throughout national or international collaborative
projects are particularly welcome. The conference is a single-track meeting
with both oral and poster presentations. In addition to the contributed papers,
there will be talks by invited speakers and a pre-conference tutorial
programme (free to registered students).
Invited speakers
----------------
Prof Jan-Olof Eklundh, KTH Stockholm
Attention and figure-ground segmentation in active vision
Prof Aaron Bobick, MIT Media Laboratory
Computers seeing action
One-day tutorial, 9 September
-----------------------------
Vision through optimisation (provisional title)
Dr Tim Cootes (University of Manchester), Dr Neil Thacker (Sheffield Universit
y
Submissions and format
----------------------
Contributions are sought on any novel aspect relating to machine vision and
pattern analysis, including:
* image processing and feature extraction
* object recognition and scene analysis
* reconstruction of 3D shape
* computational issues in perception
* robotic vision and sensory fusion
* advanced pattern analysis
* practical applications
* model-based coding
* architectures
* active vision
* motion analysis
* neural network
Four copies of full papers not exceeding 10 pages (approx. 5000 words if
no figures), three of which anonymous, should be submitted for review.
Please include two title pages, each containing title, authors' names
(on one copy only) and an abstract. Papers will be reviewed by the elected
BMVA Committee with a small number of specially coopted members.
By submitting a paper to BMVC, the author(s) warrant that it, and any related
paper with essentially the same technical content, has not been and will not
be submitted to any other conference during the BMVC review period.
Papers will be accepted either for oral presentation or for presentation as
posters. A printed copy of the Proceedings will be available to delegates
at the conference and a selection of the best papers will be published
separately in a special issue of the Image and Vision Computing Journal.
