                  Second International Conference on
               Scale-Space Theories in Computer Vision:
 Geometric Image Flows, Nonlinear Diffusion, Functional Minimisation,
                       and Linear Scale-Space
 
                            Corfu, Greece
                        September 26-27, 1999
                      --Corfu Holiday Palace--
                     In conjunction with ICCV '99
 
                   Scale-Space '99, Call For Papers
 
 Scale-space theory has developed into an important branch of
 multiscale techniques. The foundations are mathematically well
 established, and its applications cover all areas of digital
 imaging. Scale-Space '99 is a forum for presentation of advances in
 scale-space theories in computer vision. It is the successor of
 Scale-Space '97, held in Utrecht. The emphasis is on partial
 differential equations and variational techniques for image analysis,
 and their applications in industry and medicine.
 
 
 SCOPE:
 Methods:
 Geometric image flows, level set methods, continuous-scale morphology,
 nonlinear diffusion, functional minimisation, total variation methods,
 regularisation, linear scale-space, multi-channel evolutions.
 
 Special Topics of Interest: 
 Axiomatic foundations, invariances, well-posedness, generalised 
 solutions, approximation and convergence, discrete theories, fast 
 algorithms, deep structure, singularity theory, evolution properties, 
 unification of theories, interrelations of methods. 
 
 Applications: 
 Shape analysis, segmentation, reconstruction, motion, stereo, matching 
 and registration, colour image analysis, feature detection, scale 
 selection, medical applications, industrial applications.
 
 INVITED SPEAKERS: 
 We are pleased to announce the two following invited speakers from the
 adjacent scientific fields of neuroscience and wavelet theory.
 
 Professor Rudiger von der Heydt, Department of Neuroscience, Johns
 Hopkins University School of Medicine, will give a lecture on
 nonlinear mechanisms in the first stages of the primate visual system.
 
 Professor David L. Donoho, Statistics Department, Stanford University
 will give a lecture entitled "Anisotropy Scaling and Discontinuities
 along curves".
 
 SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
 Authors are invited to submit four (4) copies of original so far
 unpublished papers for oral or poster presentation. Papers must be no
 longer than 12 pages in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science
 format plus a cover sheet stating: (1) paper title, (2) key words, (3) 
 name, address, fax, and e-mail address of the contact author. Due to 
 the tight publishing schedule, papers must be at the conference
 secretariat no later than April 8th, 1999:
    Scale-Space '99, Department of Computer Science
    University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 1
    DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark
    E-Mail: scalespace99@diku.dk
 
 Papers received later than April 15th may be returned unopened to the
 authors.  All submissions will be reviewed by three members of the
 programme committee. Authors warrant by submission that the paper or
 any paper with similar contents has not and will not be submitted to
 any other conference during the Scale-Space 99 review period. The only
 exception is that we, in accordance with ICCV, allow for submission of
 papers already submitted to ICCV on the following terms: 
 (i)  Authors indicate ICCV submission number.  
 (ii) Authors indicate preference of publication in the four cases of
      oral or poster acceptance at the two conferences.  
 
 Papers also submitted to ICCV will only be accepted at one conference.
 Papers also submitted to ICCV may be submitted to Scale-Space 99
 following the ICCV submission format of paper body.
 
 PROCEEDINGS
 Proceedings will be published in the series Lecture Notes in Computer 
 Science, Springer Verlag. LaTeX style files may be obtained at 
 http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/.
 
 A selection of the best papers will be published in a special issue of 
 "Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation."
