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photometric modeling approaches through previously unpublished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
