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:
