    The Irish Machine Vision & Image Processing Conference 2000 (IMVIP 2000)
 will be hosted by the Centre for Image and Vision Systems, School of
 Computer Science, The Queen's University of Belfast, bringing together
 theoreticians and practitioners, industrialists and academics, from the
 numerous related disciplines involved in the processing and analysis of
 image-based information.
    IMVIP 2000 is a single-track conference consisting of high quality
 previously unpublished contributed papers. The conference emphasises both
 theoretical research results and practical engineering experience in all
 areas. Papers will be subjected to a strict review process - on complete
 papers.
    Accepted papers will be presented orally, though, if the numbers demand,
 there will be poster sessions. All accepted papers will be printed in the
 Proceedings. At least one of the authors of accepted papers will be
 expected to register for the conference, and to present their work at the
 conference.
    In addition to the contributed programme, there will be talks by invited
 speakers.
    IMVIP 2000 is the fourth conference in the series. Previous IMVIP
 conferences have been held in Magee College, University of Ulster (1997),
 NUI, Maynooth (1998), Dublin City University (1999), following an Image
 and Vision Colloquium at Queen's in 1996.
 
                               TOPICS
 Contributions are sought in all aspects of image processing, pattern
 recognition and machine vision, including but not restricted to the
 following topics:
 - Industrial Machine Vision
 - Remote Sensing
 - Image & Video Representation, Compression and Coding
 - Medical and Biomedical Imaging
 - Image Processing in Forensic Science
 - Hardware and Software Architectures for Image Processing
