Call for Papers

Scale-Space theory has developed into a serious branch of multiscale
computer vision theory. The foundations are mathematically well
established, and its application areas cover the whole area of digital
imaging. This first international conference is an extension of
successful workshops of the "Diffusion" consortium, a US-NSF/EC-ESPRIT
collaboration (1993-1996). The conference will combine tutorial
sessions with a scientific single track 3-day meeting.

Papers are sollicited in (but not restricted to) the following areas: 

   Methods 
       Linear Scale-Space Theory 
       Nonlinear Scale-Space Theory 
       Geometric Scale-Spaces 
   Special Topics 
       Axiomatic Foundation 
       Differential Geometry and Invariants 
       Discrete Scale-Spaces and Algorithms 
       Scale Selection and Deep Structure 
       Biological Relevance 
       Relation to Regularization Methods 
       Fast implementations 
   Applications 
       Optic Flow and Stereo 
       Segmentation 
       Shape Analysis 
       Texture Analysis 
       Applications in Medicine and Industry 

Papers will be peer reviewed by three independent reviewers. The
proceedings of the meeting will be published.
