CALL FOR PAPERS WACV '96 Third IEEE Workshop on Applications of Computer Vision December 2-4, 1996 Sarasota, Florida, USA PROGRAM: The goal of this workshop is to bring together an international forum of industrial, academic, and government researchers to present and discuss the application of computer vision techniques to various problem domains of practical significance. The program will consist of panel discussions and presentations of high-quality contributed papers. Topics will focus on computer vision applications that include (but are not limited to) the topics listed below: medical image analysis manufacturing visual database query and retrieval industrial inspection video mosaicing surveillance model-based visual communications security and law enforcement space operations target recognition cartography and GIS highway/vehicle systems remote sensing human-computer interaction document analysis and OCR robotics and 3D sensing SUBMISSIONS: Four copies of complete manuscripts should be received by May 31, 1996, for review by the program committee. Emphasis should be on novel research aspects and/or performance evaluation for a given task. Papers (in English) should be submitted in FINAL CAMERA-READY FORMAT with 2 columns on standard (8.5"x11" or A4) pages. Columns should be separated by 5/16" spacing, and should be 3.25" in width and 9" in length. Text should be 10-point type, Times Roman font (or similar). A maximum of 6 pages are permitted for each submission, including references and illustrations. The title, names of authors, affiliations, and e-mail addresses should appear centered near the top of the first page. In addition to the manuscript, each submission should contain a summary page that answers the following questions separately: 1) What is the application area of the work reported in this paper? 2) How far has this work progressed to date? 3) What is the primary significance of this work? 4) How is this paper related to previously published work? Submissions should be sent to the following address: Dr. Raj Talluri Texas Instruments Corporate Research & Development P.O. Box 655474, M/S 238 Dallas, TX 75265 USA A published proceedings will be available at the workshop.
