CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

One Day British Machine Vision Association Technical Meeting

Optimisation Issues in Computer Vision

Optimisation is the process of finding the best solution to 
a problem according to a certain criteria. Some typical 
techniques used  for this are Mathematical Programming,
Gradient and Newton type approaches, as well as stochastic 
methods such as Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms. 
Optimisation in Computer Vision has been attempted in a wide 
variety of tasks, from low level feature extraction to high 
level recognition methods. The optimisation process itself 
may occur on-line or off-line as a training stage. The British 
Machine Vision Association will be holding a one day Technical
Meeting at the BIR, London on May 8th 1997, entitled "Optimisation 
Issues in Computer Vision" to allow a platform for presentation 
of new work or "work in progress" both in theoretical development 
and applications. Prospective contributors should submit a short 
abstract (50-70 words) describing their current work in this area. 
The deadline for contributions is 28th February 1997. 

Submissions should be made by email, fax or post using the
details below:
