FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Workshop on Photometric Modeling for Computer Vision and Graphics (in conjunction with CVPR'99) Fort Collins, Colorado, June 22 (a day before CVPR), 1999 ********** EXTENDED DEADLINE: MARCH 10, 1999 ************** Researchers from the fields of computer vision and computer graphics share a need for physically correct photometric models of illumination and reflectance. Realistic image rendering in computer graphics relies on the accuracy of these models, while effective photometric characterization of local and global object features can enhance diverse computer vision tasks such as object recognition, image indexing, segmentation, stereo, motion estimation, and image-based rendering. Methodologies based on color and radiometric modeling have been increasingly utilized to represent object features under various viewing, reflectance and illumination conditions. Moreover, the image-based graphics modeling and rendering that has recently brought computer vision and graphics communities together can greatly benefit from the promotion of photometric modeling of light reflection and sensing. The traditional role of photometry in computer graphics has been gradually expanding from image rendering to the acquisition of scene models typically associated with computer vision. The purpose of the proposed workshop is to stimulate interest in this area and to assemble researchers to discuss the significance and impact of photometric modeling approaches through previously unpublished contributed papers, invited talks and panel discussions. A list of possible themes for submitted papers, meant to be suggestive rather than exclusive, is: Fundamental color and radiometric models for vision and graphics Illumination models for object representation and visualization Physics-based reflectance models Generation of graphics models from light sensing Photometric modeling for image-based rendering Perceptual light models for rendering and visualization Photometric and geometric invariants Photometric shape descriptors Color constant feature descriptors Feature descriptors for color- and texture-based indexing Appearance-based representation Statistical modeling Polarization Infrared models Color and radiometric sensor models Applications for machine vision and visualization PAPER SUBMISSION Four copies of complete manuscript should be received by MARCH 10, 1999 at the address: Prof. Sang W.
