                          6th Fall Workshop

           VISION, MODELING AND VISUALIZATION 2001 (VMV01)

                         November 21-23, 2001
                          Stuttgart, Germany

                            organized by:
             Visualization and Interactive Systems Group
                    Institute of Computer Science
                       University of Stuttgart

                            supported by:
             Univ. of Erlangen Graduate College (GRK-244)
         Univ. of Erlangen Graduate Research Center (SFB 603)
    Univ. of Tübingen/Stuttgart Graduate Research Center (SFB382)
           Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik, Saarbrücken
                           INFOS, Stuttgart
                      Frauenhofer IAO, Stuttgart

                         in cooperation with:
                    IEEE Signal Processing Society
                   Gesellschaft fuer Informatik GI

Setting:
--------

Vision, Modeling and Visualization are complementary disciplines that
are rapidly converging.  Modeling of scene and object geometry,
photometry, and statistical properties are essential in all three
areas, and many researchers today believe that we will ultimately have
one unified field.
This workshop is the sixth in a series of annual meetings organized by
the DFG Graduate College "3-D Image Analysis and Synthesis" and the
DFG Graduate Research Center SFB 603 "Model-based Analysis and
Visualization of Complex Scenes and Sensor Data" at the University of
Erlangen-Nuremberg.  After three meetings in Erlangen, one in Alpbach,
Austria, and the previous one at the Max-Planck-Institut fuer
Informatik in Saarbruecken, the 2001 workshop will take place in
Stuttgart.  It is organized by the VIS-group of the Computer Science
Department and will be supported by the DFG Graduate Research Center
SFB 382 "Computational Physics", by the Informatik Forum Stuttgart
INFOS, and the Frauenhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO,
which will host the meeting at its facilities.

The program will consist of invited talks by internationally renowned
speakers, as well as contributed paper and poster presentations.

Topics:
-------
  - 3-D imaging
  - Object localization and recognition
  - Volume data processing and visualization
  - Multi-sensor fusion and 3-D registration
  - 3-D structure from motion and stereo
  - Geometry-based and image-based rendering
  - Geometric modeling
  - Scene modeling and integration
  - Multi-view image processing and coding
  - Applications (medicine, robotics, fluid mechanics, manufacturing,
    automated inspection, virtual reality, communication, etc.)

Paper Submission:
-----------------

Prospective attendees are invited to submit a paper up to 8 pages
in final form.  All submissions will be reviewed. Accepted papers will
appear in the workshop digest as submitted.  Authors should obtain the
author's kit (including LaTeX style-file) from

               http://wwwvis.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/vmv01

The author's kit provides complete information concerning the
submission process.  It is the intention of the Committee to conduct
all communication with authors electronically.  Questions should be
directed to 
                
                mailto:vmv01@informatik.uni-stuttgart.de.
