                              Workshop
                  Machine Perception Applications 

                       September 2 - 4, 1996

                 Lecture Hall i7, Inffeldgasse 25

Current industrial applications of machine perception reach far beyond
standard tasks like industrial inspection and quality control. This
workshop will focus on the use of new methods in a variety of computer
vision and pattern recognition applications f or robotics and automation.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, integration of sensors
and methods, active inspection systems, learning and adaptation of
polymorphic models, and autonomous interaction with a possibly unknown or
changing env ironment. We especially invite application-driven
contributions dealing with aspects of mid- and high-level computer vision
and issue a
