CALL FOR PAPERS
Hosted by Australia's Cooperative Research Centre for Sensor Signal
and Information Processing (CSSIP), and sponsored by Australia's
Defence Science and Technology Organization (DSTO), IAIF'97 is the
first international workshop on theoretical, experimental and applied
research and development in image analysis and information fusion. It
provides a unique forum for presentation of research and technological
advances by scientists and engineers working in image analysis,
computer vision, photogrammetry, statistical inference, knowledge-based
inference, and information fusion, as well as related applications in
industry, defence, medicine, and geoinformation.
SCOPE:
1. GEOMETRIC IMAGING SITUATION RECOVERY:
aspects of geometric situation of image formation, single and stereo
camera calibration and image orientation, image network recovery and
adjustment, structure and motion from image sequence.
2. IMAGE ANALYSIS AND FEATURE EXTRACTION:
multiresolution image analysis, scale space, wavelets, phase-based
representation, polymorphic features, feature detection and tracking.
3. STEREO VISION AND MULTIPLE IMAGE FUSION:
stereo image matching, phase-based matching, feature-based matching,
object-space image matching, fusion of visual modules, multiple
image matching, surface reconstruction, disparity discontinuity and
occlusion, horizontal and hierarchical disparity propagation.
4. INFORMATION FUSION THEORIES AND ARCHITECTURES:
interfacing signals with symbols, Bayesian networks, probabilistic
knowledge representation and inference, Blackboard architectures,
neural networks, intelligent agents with belief, desire and
intention.
5. APPLICATIONS:
active vision systems, photogrammetry and remote sensing, monitoring
and control of dynamic engineering systems, situation and threat
assessment for defence, battlefield information fusion, medical
expert systems with sensors, geographic information systems, etc.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURES:
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the
technical areas listed above. To submit a proposal, prepare a 3-6
page extended abstract of the paper including text, figures and
references. The abstract should be headed by paper title, authors and
their affiliations, including the contact author's name and address,
including telephone number, fax number, and email address. Attached to
the back of the extended abstract should be an additional page
containing a short paragraph on biographical details of each
author. Four copies should then be sent to:

Submission by Fax is acceptable, if the received submission is clearly
readable. Alternatively, submission of a postscript file may be made
via Email. All submissions will be reviewed by at least two
reviewers. The final version of a paper is limited to 12 pages and
will be published in the edited Proceedings of IAIF'97. Longer papers
will be charged Aus$30 for each extra page. Style files in LaTeX will
be provided for the convenience of the authors.
SCHEDULE:
Extended abstracts due: 1 June 1997
Notification of acceptance: 1 August 1997
Camera-ready papers: 1 October 1997
Workshop: 6-7 November 1997
