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 photometric modeling approaches through previously unpublished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
