 General Chairs      Call for Papers: The objective of this workshop is to
 Chung-Sheng Li,     promote information exchange and technical
 IBM T.J. Watson     interaction among researchers and developers working
 Research Center     on algorithms or systems for accessing visual content
                     in large image/video libraries.
 Avi Kak,
 Purdue              Computer Vision and pattern recognition play an
 University          important role in solving many critical problems in
                     this area, in conjunction with other disciplines
 Technical           (e.g., image processing, database, and information
 Program Chair       retrieval). This workshop will focus on several
 Shih-Fu Chang,      important technical challenges, including
 Columbia            representation, analysis, indexing, retrieval,
 University          classification, and summarization of image/video
                     content.
