Workshop on Non-Linear Model Based Image Analysis July 1-3 1998 Thistle Hotel, Glasgow, http://www.spd.eee.strath.ac.uk/noblesse/nmbia98 Due to the overwhelming volume of image data it is necessary to have new intelligent methods for image representation and analysis. As well as image coding methods such as MPEG4 and MPEG7 these higher level descriptions will have applications in model based browsing, navigation, keying, interpolation and tracking. The topics below represent key aspects of research which will form the building blocks of future systems and standards. *Object Oriented Coding *Segmentation *Database Retrieval *Image/Video Restoration *Image Models *Video Pre/Postprocessing *Colour in Image Processing IMPORTANT DATES : Submission of 2-3 page abstracts 16 January 1998 Notification of acceptance of abstracts 27 February 1998 Submission of final camera-ready paper 10 April 1998 PROGRAM COMMITTEE : General Chairman : Stephen Marshall, Univ of Strathclyde, UK.
