The first two meetings were held in Erlangen, the previous meeting was held in Alpbach, Austria. In 1999, the meeting is for the first time jointly organized with the new Center of Excellence SFB 603 "Model-based Analysis and Visualization of Complex Scenes and Sensor Data" at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. The program will consist of invited talks by internationally renowned speakers, as well as contributed papers. The workshop will address the following topics: - 3-D imaging - Object localization and recognition - Volume data processing and visualization - Multisensor fusion and 3-D registration - 3-D structure from motion and stereo - Geometry-based and image-based rendering - Geometric modeling - Scene modeling and integration - Multiview image processing and coding - Applications (medical, robotics, fluid mechanics, manufacturing, automated inspection, virtual reality, communication etc.) Prospective attendees are invited to submit a paper up to 8 pages in final form. All submissions will be reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop digest as submitted. Authors should obtain the author's kit (including LaTeX style-file) from http://sfb-603.uni-erlangen.de/vmv99.html The author's kit provides complete information relative to the submission process. It is the intention of the Committee to conduct all communication with authors electronically. Questions should be directed to vmv99@informatik.uni-erlangen.de.
