C A L L F O R P A P E R S International Workshop on Graph Algorithms and Computer Vision Corfu, Greece September 21, 1999 In conjunction with ICCV'99 http://www.cs.cornell.edu/ICCV-graph-workshop ICCV-graph-workshop@cs.cornell.edu There have been a number of interesting results in computer vision in the past few years that make use of graph algorithms. For example, graph-based methods have been recently used to address such classical vision problems as segmentation, stereo, and object recognition. The range of graph algorithms that have been used are also quite broad; recent examples include spectral methods, graph cuts and minimum spanning trees. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers in vision working in this area. We aim to appeal to researchers in computer vision who are making non-trivial use of graph algorithms and theory, and also to interest theoretical computer scientists in the graph problems that arise in vision. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - segmentation and restoration - stereo and motion - shape matching - grouping and visual organization - indexing of image databases - object recognition - energy minimization Because this is a workshop, it is acceptable to submit papers that overlap with existing published work, as long as there is significant new content and the overlaps are clearly identified. SUBMISSION PROCEDURES The workshop submissions will be entirely electronic; hardcopy submissions are not allowed. Papers must be submitted either in PDF format or in compressed postscript format. Submission instructions are available at the web site. Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 15 pages in length, including an abstract of approximately 200 words, references and figures. PROCEEDINGS Proceedings will be published in purely electronic format. Abstracts of accepted papers will be available at the workshop. Authors will also be strongly encouraged to make electronic versions of their presentations available as well.
