Description: 

Papers are solicited for a special issue of Computer Vision and
Image Understanding on the subject of CAD-Based Computer Vision. The
purpose of the special issue is to summarize the state of the
art and showcase emerging new techniques for the integration of
computer-aided design techniques and principles into systems which
model and recognize two- and three-dimensional objects.

Possible topics for submitted papers include, but are not limited to 

+ Multiple-use representations of objects (e.g., manufacturing, recognition,
  inspection). 
+ Implications of large object model databases on recognition (indexing,
  hashing, etc.). 
+ Bottom-up, top-down, and hybrid construction of models using image data and
  prior knowledge (semi-automatic or automatic object modeling). 
+ Incorporation of sensor models in recognition and representation strategies. 
+ Representation and recognition of free-form objects. 
+ Optimization of mesh (polygonal) models.
+ Comprehensive surveys of the state of the art in CAD-based vision.

Submission Instructions: 

All submissions will be refereed in accordance with the CVIU reviewing
guidelines.  Manuscripts will not be accepted if they have been previously
published.
