The goal of this workshop is to bring together an international forum of academic, industrial, and government researchers in order to present and discuss various applications of computer vision. This will allow researchers in the different applications areas to interact and interchange ideas, so that applications are thoroughly understood and there is a transfer of concepts from one application to another. The program will consist of high quality contributed papers, invited talks, panels and demonstrations covering computer vision applications that include, but are not limited to, Photo-interpretation/cartography Navigation/transportation Automatic target recognition Graphics recognition/engineering drawings Security/surveillance/human motion Gesture/face/hand recognition Image and video databases Augmented reality Human-computer interaction Inspection/quality control Robotics/manufacturing Model recovery (shape from x) Space operations Document analysis Medical analysis Biometrics Performance evaluation Performance evaluation Scientific Imaging Applications Emphasis should be on novel research aspects and/or extensive experimental analysis for a given application domain; purely applying standard techniques to a new application problem using a few test images is not sufficient. SUBMISSIONS: Details on submission process and the electronic forms can be found at wacv2000.eecs.lehigh.edu/. After filling out the electronic forms (which will assign a paper number), send four (4) copies of the paper, written in English, along with a sheet giving the paper number and a summary page, described below, at the address given below by May 25, 2000: Prof. Terrance E. Boult 304 Packard Laboratory 19 Memorial Drive West Lehigh University Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA e-mail: tboult@eecs.lehigh.edu Include a summary page -- no more than one page containing answers to the following questions (answer each question separately and in order; please number your answers): 1) What is the application area of the work reported in this paper? 2) What is the paper about? 3) What is the significance or original contribution of this work? 4) How does your work relate to work by others? 5) How can your work be applied or used by others? Papers should be limited to 8 pages of formatted paper in IEEE style (double column). The files can be down loaded from the workshop website. Papers should include a title page containing the names and addresses of the authors, and an abstract of up to 200 words. For paper reviews only, please do not include the names or affiliations of the authors, so that the review process remains anonymous.
