The Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing Technical 
Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society has established 
a tradition of biennial workshops that have been intellectually 
stimulating and held in interesting places.
 
The Tenth Workshop, to be held in cooperation with the Center 
of Excellence  3-D Image Analysis and Synthesis, at University 
of Erlangen, Germany, continues this tradition. It will be held 
in Alpbach, which has won the title "Most beautiful  village in
Austria" several times. Alpbach is located in the Alpbach-Valley 
at an elevation of 1000m, with surrounding mountains up to 2800m.
 
The theme of the workshop is 3-D Image Analysis and Synthesis.
It is the intention of this workshop to address the following 
topics:
 
- 3-D image acquisition
- Object localization and recognition
- Volume data processing
- Multisensor fusion
- 3-D registration
- Signal processing for rendering
- 3-D structure from motion and stereo
- Multiview image coding
- Applications (medical, robotics, automated inspection, virtual 
  reality, communication etc.)
 
Participation in the workshop will be both by invitation and 
application. Prospective attendees will submit a 2-4 page summary 
in final form. If the paper is accepted the summary will appear 
in the workshop digest as submitted. The total number of participants 
will be limited to 100. Authors should obtain the 
author's kit (including LaTeX style-file) from 
 
    URL: http://www.nt.e-technik.uni-erlangen.de/~imdsp. 
 
The author's kit provides complete information relative to the 
submission process. 
 
It is the intention of the Committee to conduct all communication 
with authors electronically. Questions should be directed to 
imdsp@nt.e-technik.uni-erlangen.de.  The general chair can be
