Call for Papers: one day workshop on performance characterisation 
and benchmarking of vision systems
 
Immediately preceeding 1st International Conference on Vision Systems
(ICVS) 12 January 1999, at Las Parmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
Spain. http://mozart.dis.ulpgc.es/ICVS/
 
Scope 
We are now at the stage where complex vision systems are being constructed
from the component technologies. This poses a new set of research questions 
to obtain a better understanding the impact that the performance of a 
part has on the performance of the overall as well as overall system 
behaviour. The workshop is an opportunity to present recent work in this 
new area with a focus on characterisation of the performance. Valid 
topics include systems analysis, algorithm comparisions, performance 
metrics, benchmarks, frameworks, testbeds, tools, test sets and databases.
