                            CALL FOR PAPERS
               IEEE NONRIGID AND ARTICULATED MOTION WORKSHOP
                 Puerto-Rico,  June 15-16, 1997
      
           URL: http://vismod.www.media.mit.edu/conferences/nramw97/

The purpose of this workshop, held in conjunction with CVPR'97, is to
foster dialogue and debate through invited talks, panels and previously
unpublished contributed papers on all aspects of nonrigid and
articulated motion analysis, interpretation, estimation, tracking and
synthesis. Special emphasis will be given to computer vision
techniques for human motion understanding and the use of these
techniques for computer graphics and virtual environment animation
with enhanced realism and control.

Suggestive themes for submitted papers, spanning dynamic shape/motion
models, techniques, and applications, include:

Deformable/Articulated Models
Dynamic Shape Segmentation, Estimation, Evolution
Nonrigid/Articulated  Motion Estimation, Understanding
Object Tracking from single/multiple cameras
Analysis-by-Synthesis
Biomedical Applications
Interactive Environments and Real-Time Applications
Virtual and Virtualized Reality Applications
Monitoring Systems
Telemedicine Applications
