ACIVS'2001
3rd International Conference on
ADVANCED CONCEPTS FOR INTELLIGENT VISION SYSTEMS
Theory and Applications
Baden-Baden (Germany)
July 30 - August 3, 2001
(in conjunction with the 13th Int. Conf. on
Systems Research, Informatics and Cybernetics)
************************************************
* CONFERENCE SCOPE
ACIVS'2001 is the third of a series of conferences focusing on techniques
for
building adaptive, intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems.
Papers are sollicited in the areas of image processing, pattern
recognition,
compression and algorithm assessment.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Image Processing
(adaptive filtering and image restoration, adaptive segmentation,
model-based
algorithms, learning and nonlinear optimization, recurrent
networks,
multiresolution and scale-space theory, fractals and multifractals).
- Pattern Recognition
(statistical and structural pattern recognition, robust matching and
parsing
algorithms, application of automata and grammars).
- Image and Video Compression Algorithms
(wavelets, vector quantization, fractals, hybrid techniques, semantic
image
compression, watermarking).
- Image Quality and Algorithmic Performance Evaluation
(empirical evaluation techniques, image and video quality metrics
[objective
and perceptually based metrics], methods [ROC curves, etc.] and
professional
applications [medical, military, etc.]).

* EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
Any person who intends to participate is invited to fill and send a reply
card available at: http://www.etca.fr/CTA/ACIVS01
* CONFERENCE WEB SERVER
Information about the conference can be found at:
http://www.etca.fr/CTA/ACIVS01
* TUTORIAL SUBMISSION
Tutorials are sollicited on the following topics:
- adaptive segmentation
- pattern recognition
- video compression
- watermarking
- algorithmic performance evaluation
* PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the International
Programme Committee; additional reviewers may 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.
Full regular papers are 5 pages long (including figures) in times 11pt, A4.
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.
* PROCEEDINGS
All accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings.
Selected papers will be considered for publication in a book series.
