Early registration deadline : July 30, 1999

You are invited to participate in a single-track 2-day workshop on
methods and systems for graphics recognition organized by IAPR TC-10
(Technical Committee on Graphics Recognition). The workshop will
comprise several sessions dedicated to specific topics. For each
session, there will be an invited presentation describing the state of
the art and stating the open questions for the session's topic,
followed by a number of short presentations where each participant is
invited to contribute by proposing solutions to some of the questions
or presenting results of his/her work. Each session will be concluded
by a panel discussion. Below are some of the topics that will be
addressed by this workshop.
* raster-to-vector techniques
* recognition of graphical primitives
* recognition of graphic symbols in charts and diagrams
* interpretation of engineering drawings, logic diagrams, maps, charts,
etc.
* analysis of line drawings, tables, forms etc.
* graphics-based information retrieval
* 3-D models from multiple 2-D views (line drawings)
* interpretation of low-level (``dumb'') CAD data
* description of complete systems for interpretation of graphics in
scanned documents
* performance evaluation in graphics recognition
As at the past workshops, a graphics recognition contest is planned at
GREC'99. Details on the contest will soon be posted on the GREC'99
web site.
The workshop will be held just after the 5th International Conference
on Document Analysis and Recognition (Bangalore, India, September
20-22, 1999). Jaipur, the GREC city, is located in northern India, 250
km from New Delhi. There are plenty of flights connecting Bangalore
and Jaipur (via Delhi).
Attendance will be limited to 70 persons. All participants are
expected to contribute actively to the workshop. If you are not one of
the speakers at the workshop, then, at the least, you will be expected
to participate in the discussions at the end of each session. A list
of the technical sessions, and a tentative list of talks within each
session, are available at the GREC'99 web site.
Pre-proceedings of all contributed papers will be available at the
workshop.
