7th Fall Workshop
VISION, MODELING, AND VISUALIZATION 2002 (VMV2002)
November 20-22, 2002
Erlangen, Germany
organized by:
DFG Graduate Research Center SFB 603:
"Model-based Analysis and Visualization of Complex Scenes and Sensor Data"
DFG Graduate College GRK-244:
"3-D Image Analysis and Synthesis"
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.
The declining cost of processors, memory, and sensors continues to expand
the scope of viable applications. New system solutions are in reach by
combining state-of-the-art techniques from research areas that were
traditionally separate. The thorough scientific treatment of the underlying
principles, for example the limitations of sensors, the reliability,
accuracy, complexity and storage requirements of image processing and
rendering algorithms, similarities and differences between digital image
processing and digital geometry processing, or the fidelity of interactive
visualization schemes, is the prerequisite for such advanced systems.
This workshop is the seventh in a series of annual meetings organized by
the DFG Graduate Research Center SFB 603 "Model-based Analysis and
Visualization of Complex Scenes and Sensor Data" and the DFG Graduate College
GRK-244 "3-D Image Analysis and Synthesis" at the University of
Erlangen-Nuremberg and cooperating Intitutes. After three meetings in Erlangen,
one in Alpbach, Austria, one at the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Informatik in
Saarbruecken, and the previous one at the University of Stuttgart, the 2002
workshop will take place again in Erlangen.
The workshop is organized by DFG Graduate Research Center SFB 603 and the DFG
Graduate College GRK-244 and its involved intitutes. It will be supported by
the Fraunhofer-Institut fuer Integrierte Schaltungen-Angewandte Elektronik
IIS A, 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
- Virtual Reality
- Applications (medicine, robotics, fluid mechanics, manufacturing,
automated inspection, virtual reality, communication, etc.)
Invited Speakers:
So far, the following invited speakers have accepted to give a talk
at the VMV 2002:
- Kostas Daniilidis (University of Pennsylvania)
- Chuck Hansen (University of Utah)
- Werner Purgathofer (Vienna University of Technology)
- Joachim Weickert (Saarland University)
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://www.vmv2002.uni-erlangen.de
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: vmv2002@uni-erlangen.de.
Authors' Schedule:
Well ahead of deadline: Obtain author's kit and LaTeX style-file
- May 31, 2002: Paper submission
- July 15, 2002: Notification of acceptance
- August 31, 2002: Registration deadline for authors
