ICVS 2001
Second International Workshop on Computer Vision Systems

  URL:  http://mozart.dis.ulpgc.es/ICVS01/welcome.html
---------------------------------------------------------------
July 7-8, 2001, 2001 in Vancouver, BC, Canada
Workshop associated with ICCV 2001


SCOPE and TOPICS:
-----------------

By vision systems we refer to fully integrated
(and operational)systems. There has been a lot
of research on component technologies as
described in standard vision conferences like
ICCV, ECCV, and CVPR. It is, however,
characteristic that very little has been reported
on fully INTEGRATED systems. Integration of
component technologies requires not only vision
techniques, but also understanding of fundamental
concepts from basic computer science (like
scheduling and planning), methods for handling
of uncertainty, control theory (for interactive
systems), etc.  This workshop, second in a series
of workshops focuses on methods and concepts for
construction of fully integrated systems.

The workshop solicits papers on the following topics:

- System architectures
- Methods for system synthesis and verification
- Active Vision systems
- Control of perception and attention
- Knowledge/system representation
- Multi-Agent systems and coordination
- Context modeling
- Cue integration
- Prototype systems
- Performance characterization and benchmarking
