Recent advances in computing and communications are leading to the creation
of large scale databases of visual and multimedia information. Such
databases are finding ready applications in a wide range of fields such as
advertising and marketing, education and training, entertainment, medicine,
and remote sensing. Because of the very nature of visual and multimedia
data, new and innovative methods are called for in modeling, processing,
organizing, and indexing of this data for efficient management, access and
delivery of the content. The aim of this conference is to bring together
the researchers who are developing such methods, and the users, who are
defining the needs for such methods. Over the past few years, this
conference has become a premium forum for quality papers addressing
these issues. We are soliciting papers in all relevant areas including
the following:
Areas and topics:
1. content capture and processing
- methods and systems for content population, authoring and capture
- compressed-domain feature extraction and analysis
- image and video characterization
2. database management
- indexing and data organization in databases
- fast search techniques
- system optimization for search and retrieval; storage hierarchy
- platforms issues (distributed, parallel, hybrid, etc.)
3. similarity measures and semantic features
- measures and performance evaluation of content similarity
- similarity measures for audio and music
- syntactic and semantic feature extraction and classification
4. query and content delivery
- query methods: query by "X" (sketch, face, etc.)
- browsing and visualization of multimedia data sets
- user interfaces for audio and music databases
- fast delivery mechanisms
- human-computer interaction
5. integral processing of multimedia data
- joint processing and utilization of text, audio and video data
- generation of video summary and abstraction
(visual and audiovisual)
6. search, query and delivery on the Internet
- meta-search engines
- issues related to distributed and heterogeneous systems
- scalable approaches in storage and network delivery
7. content protection in media archives
- access control and rights management
- robust and fragile watermarking of media content.
Note: Please note that a 1500-word extended summary which clearly
highlights the contributions of the paper is required for application to
this conference. The proceedings for this conference will be made
available on-site at the symposium.

Paper Review
To ensure a high-quality conference, all abstracts and Proceedings of
SPIE papers will be reviewed by the Conference Chairs for technical
merit and content.
Publishing Policy
Manuscript due dates must be strictly observed. Whether the
conference volume will be published before or after the meeting, late
manuscripts run the risk of not being published in the Proceedings of
SPIE. The objective of this policy is to better serve the conference
participants and the technical community at large. Your cooperation is
appreciated by all.
Final Summary
Accepted authors will receive instructions for submission of the 200-
word Final Summary in their author kit. The published Final Summaries
will be available at the meeting.
Oral or Poster Presentation
Accepted authors will receive instructions for Oral and Poster
presentations in their author kit. All Oral and Poster presentations are
included in the Proceedings of SPIE and require a manuscript.
Proceedings of SPIE
These conferences will result in volumes published in the Proceedings of
SPIE that can be ordered through the Advance Technical Program.
Camera-ready manuscripts are required of all accepted applicants and
must be submitted in English by 2 November 1998. Copyright to the
manuscript is expected to be released for publication in the Proceedings
of SPIE. Note: If an author does not attend the meeting and make a
presentation, the chair may choose not to publish the author's
manuscript in the conference volume. Papers published are indexed in
leading scientific databases including INSPEC, Compendex Plus, Physics
Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts, International Aerospace Abstracts, and
Index to Scientific and Technical Proceedings.
Participant Registration Fee
Authors and coauthors are accorded a reduced symposium registration
fee.
