******* FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS FOR BMCV 2002 ******* (BIOLOGICALLY MOTIVATED COMPUTER VISION Workshop 2002) NOVEMBER, 22nd-24th, 2002 in TUEBINGEN, GERMANY http://www.bmcv.tuebingen.mpg.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- *** 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 *** IMPORTANT DATES *** June 30, 2002 Paper submission due July 31, 2002 Notification of acceptance August 31, 2002 Camera-ready manuscript due August 31, 2002 Advance registration due November 22-24, 2002 Workshop (Friday 1pm - Sunday 6pm) *** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES *** Your paper should not exceed 8 pages (single-spaced, 10pt) including figures, tables and references. Unfortunately we cannot accept color images. Please submit your contribution with two cover pages with the first cover page containing the title, name(s) of the author(s), e-mail address and a short abstract (150 words + keywords) and the second cover page containing only the title and the abstract.
