This is a call for computer vision and pattern recognition demonstrations at the upcoming 1999 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. See the CVPR web page at http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~cvpr99/index.html for complete details. PURPOSE CVPR's demonstration session is an opportunity for members of the vision and pattern recognition research communities to present and exchange ideas in an interactive way. A key feature of this session is the on-going live demonstrations given by its participants. These demonstrations present all or part of a working system developed for Vision and Pattern Recognition tasks. This session, like the sessions at previous CVPR conferences, 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. PROPOSAL GUIDELINES The following describes the submission process for the CVPR demonstration session. We encourage both Industry and Academic organizations to participate in this session. If accepted, you will need to bring a poster for use in the session. You are also encouraged to bring along a video demonstration for incorporation into a library. The conference attendees will have permanent access to this video demonstration library. In terms of equipment, CVPR will provide you with a space, tables, chairs, easel for poster, power cords, and TV/VCRs. For those people who are reluctant to ship monitors, we are willing to entertain providing monitors by special arrangement. Contact Bruce Draper for special arrangements. We do encourage participants to bring as much of their own equipment as possible. You are to submit a description via email to the CVPR demo session chair by the published deadline. If your proposal is accepted, we reserve the right to publish your description on our web-page and in a handout to be distributed at the conference. The description should be in simple raw text and must include the following information: - Title of Demonstration - Name of Organization, Address of Organization - List of Participants, Indicate Main Contact Person and Phone, Email, Fax - One-page Description of Demonstration - List of papers published (if available) on the demonstrated system - Equipment you will bring with you - Equipment you are asking CVPR to try to provide (see above) - Average Time to Run a Demonstration. DATES Submission Deadline: April 15, 1999 Notification of Acceptance: By May 15, 1999 If space becomes limited, proposals submitted earlier will be given preference.
