TC10 MEMBERSHIP
While you are at the TC10 or GREC'99 web site, please take a few
moments to visit the "Membership" page and enroll as a member of TC10
(IAPR Technical Committee on Graphics Recognition).
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.
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 Delhi. Between
Delhi and Jaipur, there are a few flights and good rail and bus
connections.
Attendance will be limited to 75 persons. All participants are
expected to contribute actively to the workshop, either by presenting
a full state-of-the-art paper, or by an abstract of remarks on a
specific topic. You are invited to submit to the workshop chairs an
abstract (2 pages plus figures, max 4 pages) of your proposed
contribution to the workshop. Please indicate if you would be willing
to present a state-of-the-art paper on this topic, if invited to do so
by the program committee.
Pre-proceedings of all contributed papers will be available at the workshop
for the participants. After the workshop, the program committee plans to
publish as a book revised versions of selected key papers, possibly
including reports from the panel discussions and the contest.
Relevant topics include but are not limited to:
* 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 will be held
at GREC'99. Details on the contest will soon be posted on the GREC'99
web site.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is March 1, 1999. The
preferred method of submission is through the web site
http://graphics.basit.com/iapr-tc10/conferences/grec99/submission.html. If
it is not possible for you to submit through the web, then please send
three copies of your abstract to one of the co-chairs. Please specify
your contact information, including your e-mail address, in the cover
letter. Contact either one of the co-chairs for further information.
