*** First Call for Papers ***
Second International Conference on 3-D Digital
Imaging and Modeling
October 4-8, 1999
Chateau Laurier Hotel
Ottawa, Canada
3-D digital imaging and modeling is one of the fastest growing digital
technologies. Important applications such as robotics, rapid product
development, human modeling, medicine, virtual reality and scientific
imaging attest to the far reaching implications of research in this
field.
A first conference, held in 1997, provided a unique forum on 3D imaging
and modeling for 150 researchers and developers from more than 15
countries.
It is in this context that the Second International Conference on 3-D
Imaging and Modeling will take place. Sponsored and organized by the
National Research Council of Canada, the conference will look at recent
advances in 3-D sensor systems, geometric data processing, geometric
modeling, and applications.
The organizing committee invites you to submit original full papers in
English by March 5, 1999. The papers will be reviewed by an
international program committee. The Conference proceedings will be
available at the time of the conference.
