----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is to let you know about the extension of the deadline for the submissions to the Demo session of IEEE Workshop on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV'98). The new submission deadline is May 15. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- LAST CALL FOR DEMOS/VIDEOS Fourth IEEE Workshop on Applications of Computer Vision October 19-21st 1998 Princeton, New Jersey, USA WACV's demonstration session is an opportunity for both Academic and Industrial members of the computer vision community to present and exchange ideas in an interactive way. The 1998 WACV's demonstration session, like the previous sessions (http://www.cs.uchicago.edu/~frankel/WACV_Demo_Session/wacvdemo.html), runs in an open house fashion. This encourages conference attendees to ask questions and become part of the demonstration itself. This year we would also like to provide an additional video demonstration library. The conference attendees can go through the catalogue and choose the video demonstration they are interested in. They can watch these video demonstrations at any time during the conference period. Demos/Videos proposals are solicited on applications of computer vision that include (but are not limited to) the topics listed below: *visual database *image based rendering *video mosaicing *cartography and GIS *surveillance *3D sensing *security & law enforcement *space operations *object recognition *highway/vehicle systems *robotics *human-computer interaction *medical image analysis *manufacturing *industrial inspection *augmented reality *remote sensing *document analysis & OCR *face & gesture image analysis PROPOSAL GUIDELINES: The following describes the submission process for the WACV'98 demonstration and video session. Proposals require the presentation of all or some part of a working computer vision application. We encourage both Industry and Academic organizations to participate in this session. If accepted, you will be asked to create a one-page paper on each demonstration that will be published. Also, you will need to create a poster to bring for use in the session. In terms of equipment, WACV'98 will provide you with a space, tables, chairs, eisel for poster, power cords, TV/VCRs. We will provide some PCs and work stations. However, we encourage participants to bring as much of their own equipment as possible. This year there will be a Best WACV'98 Demonstration Award. The winner will be chosen by the program committee and awarded during the workshop's reception on October 19, 1998. You are to submit the following items via Email to the WACV'98 demo/video chair by the published deadline. I) Text Description: The first item, is in simple raw text and must include the following information (Keep numbers notation in your email text! ): 1. Title of Demonstration 2. Name of Organization, Address of Organization 3.List of Participants, Indicate Main Contact Person and Phone, Email, Fax 4. 1 page Description of Demonstration 5. List of references (if available) on proposed demonstrated system. (You may send copies if appropriate) 6. Equipment you will bring with you. 7. Equipment you are asking WACV'98 to try to provide. 8. Average Time to Run a Demonstration. II) Video Demonstration: You are also encouraged to send along a video demonstration. The WACV'98 will also provide additional TV/VCRs and a library of video demonstrations. The conference attendees will have permanent access to this video demonstration library. IMPORTANT DATES : Submission deadline: May 15, 1998 Notification of Acceptance: June 15, 1998 1-page paper due: July 15, 1998 *If space becomes limited proposals submitted earlier will be given preference.
