1st Call for Papers

                          OEAGM2000
                    24th Workshop of the
      AUSTRIAN ASSOCIATION FOR PATTERN RECOGNITION (AAPR)

     "Applications of 3D-Imaging and Graph-based Modeling"
 
             http://www.prip.tuwien.ac.at/oeagm2000

                 Villach, Carinthia, Austria
                      May 25 - 26, 2000


3-D digital imaging is among the fastest growing digital technologies. 
Important applications such as robotics, rapid product development, 
human modeling, medicine, virtual reality and scientific imaging 
attest the implications of research in this field. Graph-based methods 
have been recently used to address classical vision problems such as 
segmentation, stereo, and object recognition. The range of graph 
algorithms that have been used are also quite broad; recent examples 
include spectral methods, graph cuts and minimum spanning trees.
 
Topics (include, but are not limited to):

 3-D sensing methods
 Smart sensors, smart scanning
 Sensor calibration and accuracy
 View registration and integration
 3-D image understanding
 Object digitizing and modeling 
 Energy minimization
 Shape representation, matching, and object  recognition
 Segmentation, clustering and restoration
 Grouping and visual organization
 Texture recognition and mapping
 Multi-resolution 3-D representations
 Applications (industrial, biomedical, remote sensing, 
  entertainment, etc.)
