 SESSION DESCRIPTION:

For long, color machine vision research has concentrated on simple,
controlled imagery and/or theoretical issues; consequently, the
applications of color-based methods have been largely constrained.
The advent of new technologies such as mobile and outdoor robotics,
the world-wide web, and face recognition systems adds a whole new
dimension to color-based vision research, namely, application in
time-dependent, robust, practical systems.  We invite researchers
involved in color research in machine vision, biological vision,
engineering and psychology to contribute ideas to developing solutions
to problems in real-world color vision.  Research that is being used
in (or is of potential use in) realistic applications is of particular
interest.  Suggested topics include (but are not restricted to):
         - Applications of color machine vision
         - Color constancy
         - Color-based segmentation
         - Indexing/ color-based search 
         - Color camera design
         - Physics-based models
