CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION:

The goal of this conference is to explore the role of human
vision, perception, and cognition in the design, analysis, and
use of electronic imaging systems.

Papers are welcome on basic and applied research in:

    1) Human vision, perception and cognition
    2) The application of human and computer models for human vision,
       perception, and cognition to the design of systems which
       scan, generate, process, compress, and display electronic images
    3) Perceptual and cognitive issues in evaluating,
       manipulating, and interpreting digital images

This conference was initiated eight years ago.  Over the years, it has
brought together researchers from a wide variety of disciplines,
>from all over the world, for a rich and lively exchange of ideas.
This dialogue is based on the growing understanding that
the human observer is a fundamental key to the advancement of image
systems, and that advances in these systems and applications
stimulate new research into the vision, perception, and cognition
of the human observer.

PAPERS ARE INVITED IN THE FOLLOWING AND RELATED AREAS:

o Models of Human Vision, Perception, and Cognition

o Color Perception and its Applications
      - Models of Color Vision
      - Color Constancy
      - Perceptual Approaches to Device Independent Color

o Quantization and Halftoning
      - Perceptually-based Algorithms for Image Rendering
      - Perceptual Effects of Spatial, Temporal and Chromatic Sampling
      - Image Quality of  Quantized and Halftoned Images

o Vision-Based Algorithms for Image Compression, Enhancement,
      Restoration, and Reconstruction

o Higher-Level Processes
       - Image Semantics, Segmentation, and Representation
       - Applications for Attentive and Pre-Attentive Vision
       - Task-Dependent Representations of Data

o Psychophysical Aspects of Multimedia and Image Management Systems

o Perception and Performance in Virtual Reality

o Interactive Exploration and Visualization of Data
