Following QCAV'98 in Japan and QCAV'99 in Canada, the objective of the
QCAV'2001 conference is to provide a forum for researchers, industry, and
users of vision systems to present and discuss the state-of-the-art in
machine vision and image processing techniques, with an emphasis on
industrial applications for quality control of manufactured products. The
presentations will include contributed papers, poster sessions and
invited speakers for state-of-the-art talks in specialized subjects
related to the conference topics.
Papers describing original work concerning the theoretical and
experimental aspects of image processing are invited. The Program
Committee invites authors to submit original unpublished paper proposal
which present industrial quality control applications. The major topics
include, but are not limited to, the following : 
Semiconductor industry,  printing industry, wood industry, paper
industry, plastic industry, textile industry, farm-produce industry,
metallurgy, radiography, satellite imaging, biomedical field,
pharmaceutical industry, manufacturing industry

Topics
