------------------------------------------------------------------ B M V C 2 0 0 0 The Eleventh British Machine Vision Conference University of Bristol 11-14 September 2000 http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/Events/BMVC2000/ C A L L F O R P A P E R S The British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC) is the main UK conference on machine vision and related areas. Organised by the British Machine Vision Association, the 11th BMVC will be held in September 2000 at the University of Bristol, Bristol, UK. Papers will be refereed on their originality, presentation, empirical results, and quality of evaluation. Conference topics include (but are not limited to): * image features and coding * object recognition * multi-view and stereo vision * real-time and active vision * grouping and segmentation * shape and surface geometry * texture, shading and colour * medical and industrial appls. BMVC2000 will be a single-track meeting with oral and poster presentations. Invited speakers are Prof. Eric Grimson (MIT) and Prof. Luc Van Gool (KUL). The Proceedings will be available to delegates at the conference in hard copy and on CD, and a selection of the best papers will be published separately in a special issue of the journal Image and Vision Computing. There will also be a pre-Conference Tutorial programme presented by Prof. Andrew Blake (Microsoft). As in previous years, BMVC 2000 will incorporate a designated Industry Day on Wednesday 13th September. Presentations on Industry Day will focus on the practical applications of machine vision, and we are particularly keen to see presentations of well evaluated applications which clearly show thorough understanding of the underlying principles. Delegates will be able to view poster presentations and see demonstrations by both industrial exhibitors and researchers demonstrating their academic work. Industry Day is organised with the co-operation of the UK Industrial Vision Association. The Applied Vision Association is also holding its 3rd one day Meeting on Natural Images at the University of Bristol on Friday Sept 15th 2000. This is being arranged as a "satellite" meeting to the BMVC2000 conference. For those who wish to submit a paper for this meeting or to register and attend (at a nominal extra charge) details are available in due course on the BMVC2000 WWW page.
