* GENERAL SCOPE
Following ACIVS'99, the present symposium will focus on the relationships
between low-level and high-level Image Processing algorithms, between the
components of hybrid Imaging Systems and will thus also address the assessment
and the evaluation of the algorithms involved in the various parts of an
intelligent Vision System.
The meeting will include a programme of tutorials.
* TOPICS include (but are not limited to):
STATISTICAL, STRUCTURAL AND SYNTACTIC PATTERN RECOGNITION
statistical pattern recognition
string-, tree and graph-based recognition
robust matching and parsing algorithms
formal languages theory
applications of cellular automata to image processing
relationship between the encoding process and the recognition rate
IMAGE AND VIDEO COMPRESSION ALGORITHMS
wavelets, vector quantization, fractals
hybrid techniques
semantic image compression
THEORY AND APPLICATIONS OF VISION SYSTEMS
model selection and validation
model-based algorithms
biologically-inspired vision
nonlinear system identification
learning and nonlinear optimization
recurrent networks
multiresolution and scale-space theory
fractals and multifractals
adaptive filtering and image restoration
adaptive segmentation
measures of information, valuations
ASSESSMENT OF ALGORITHMS:
empirical techniques for algorithms evaluation
image quality metrics
objective metrics
perceptually based distortion metrics
video quality evaluation
subjective ratings of compression algorithms
professional applications (medical, military, etc.)
* ELECTRONIC PAPER SUBMISSION
Full regular papers are 5 pages long (including figures) in 12 point Times
Roman (or closely resembling), with normal interline space. There will be an
extra cost for any additional page.
We strongly recommend the use of LaTex format; the style macros will be
available soon at the conference web server (see above). Word documents or
other formats are also accepted, but only accompanied by the corresponding
PostScript files. Make sure that PS files are kept within reasonable limits.
The papers can be sent by e-mail to either member of the steering committee:
Jacques.Blanc-Talon@etca.fr
Dan.Popescu@cmis.csiro.au
* MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION - REVIEW PROCESS
All submissions will be reviewed by members of the International programme
Committee; additional reviewers will be consulted if needed. The papers have
to provide sufficient information about the background to the problem, clearly
indicate the original contribution, evaluate the results, draw conclusions and
provide adequate references.
* PROCEEDINGS
All accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings.
Selected papers will be considered for publication in a book series.
