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 - Color Coding, Color Selection, Color Artifacts o Psychophysical Assessment of Image Quality 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 ============================================================== Abstract: 500 words........................
