A key tool in the exploitation of video is the alignment of video frames
to each other or to reference images and models. Registration of
consecutive video frames can be used for stabilization of video sequences
and construction of video panoramas. Decomposing the motion of image
pixels into background and foreground layers can be used for compression
and indexing. Recovering displacement fields between video frames can be
used for video enhancement, 3D recovery, modeling and image based
rendering. Registration of video to models can be used for augmented
reality, video insertion, geo-registration etc. 

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from computer
vision, who are involved in different aspects of video registration, to
exchange information and to foster interaction. The plan is also to invite
a few researchers from other disciplines: graphics, photogrammetry,
medical imaging, etc, who are interested in video registration. The
workshop program will include reviewed/ invited papers and panel
discussion. The topics include but are not limited to:


Model-based registration
Sensor modeling
Geo-registration of video
Video enhancement
Feature-based Registration
Mosaicing video sequences
Site Modeling from video
Video insertion and deletion
Video registration for compression
Layered representations of video
Enhanced visualization of video
Moving object detection and tracking
