*** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ***
Following the highly successful BMCV 2000, this is the first call for
papers for the 2nd BIOLOGICALLY MOTIVATED COMPUTER VISION WORKSHOP (BMCV
2002) which will be held in Tuebingen, Germany (November, 22nd-24th
2002).

The aim of this workshop is to show how understanding and modeling human
and animal vision can lead to - and indeed is essential for - successful
computer vision systems. The workshop will bring together researchers
from computer vision and related areas to discuss this increasingly
prominent topic of biologically motivated systems.

In this context we would also like to encourage contributions from
neighboring research fields such as neuroscience, visual psychophysics
and robotics.

Contributions are sought for topics including, but not limited to:

Active vision
Applications
Artificial vision
Autonomous agents
Binocular vision
Biological motion
Biological vision
Brain-Computer interfaces
Categorization
Color vision
Face detection/recognition
Foveation
Learning
Models for biological vision
Navigation and map building
Neural system models
Object recognition
Perceptual organization
Retinal image processing
Robot vision
Scene recognition
Selective attention
Sensor fusion and cue integration
Space-variant image processing
Spatial vision
Stereo analysis
Target detection and tracking
Visually-guided motor control

*** INFORMATION ABOUT TUEBINGEN ***
The beautiful town of Tuebingen is situated in southern Germany within a
short distance from the Alps, Switzerland, Austria and France. Apart
from its historic town quarter with the world-famous Hoelderlin Tower
and picturesque old houses, Tuebingen is renowned for its excellent
research facilities both from the University and the Max Planck
Institutes. Tuebingen is a convenient 20 minute drive away from
international Stuttgart Airport and well-connected by German Rail. It
offers hotels and restaurants in all price categories and represents an
ideal starting point for exploring southern Germany and the neighboring
