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.
