PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS
International Workshop on
Very Low Bitrate Video Coding
VLBV98
Theme: Visual Content Analysis and Coding
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 8-9, 1998
Urbana, IL, USA
Purpose of Workshop
-------------------
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an international forum for
the discussion of video representation and coding techniques being
developed for MPEG-4, MPEG-7, and beyond. Applications include
videophone, teleconferencing and telecollaboration, video over ATM,
wireless, and the Internet, interactive multimedia databases, remote
sensing and surveillance, and communication aids for the hearing
impaired. To focus discussions, we have selected as the main theme of
this workshop: Visual Content Analysis and Coding. Topics of special
interest include
- Feature extraction
- Representation and coding
- 3D modeling and virtual reality
- Coding of topological data (meshes, boundaries, etc.)
- Segmentation
- Face encoder
- Content classification and identification
Format of Workshop
------------------
To facilitate the exchange of ideas and to maximize discussion, the
workshop will consist of a number of invited panels. Contributed papers
will be presented as posters.
Time and Venue of Workshop
--------------------------
This two-day workshop is scheduled right after the IEEE International
Conference on Image Processing, Chicago; and will be held at the
Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
