MIRAGE 2003
Call for Papers
Computer Vision / Computer Graphics
Collaboration for
Model-based Imaging,
Rendering,
image Analysis and
Graphical special Effects
10-12 March 2003
INRIA Rocquencourt, France
MIRAGE 2003 is designed as a very peculiar conference in the field of
Information Technology: it is dedicated to computer vision and
computer graphics collaboration studied as a tool for the production
of mirages of the reality. In the domain of computer vision, this
collaboration may take the form of model-based approaches with
feedback, as models are essential to process, analyze, understand and
generate complex still and animated images in a stable manner. Such
models must be comprehensive and their parameters updated according to
the difference between the expectation (real image) and the
synthesized results. In the computer graphics domain, a special
emphasis will be set upon techniques using real images as input for
realistic rendering, visualization and special effects.
MIRAGE 2003 is going to be an international conference where authors
are encouraged to submit papers on theoretical, computational,
experimental and industrial aspects of model-based image analysis and
synthesis. MIRAGE'2003 will be held in the new conference room of the
INRIA Rocquencourt research centre on March 10-12, 2003.
Topics include (but are not limited to)
* Model-based imaging and analysis
* Model-based vision approaches
* Model-based indexing and database retrieval
* Model-based object tracking in image sequences
* Image-based rendering and inverse rendering techniques
* New trends in model-based (and intrinsic) video compression techniques
* Virtual and augmented reality
* Generation of special effects
* Model-based evaluation of computer vision techniques, Image quality
* Applications
o Human-computer interaction, haptics
o Virtual prototyping
o Post-production, computer animation
o Multimedia applications (including face and gesture recognition),
multimedia databases
o Military applications
o Medical and biomedical applications
o Applications of fractals and multifractals
VENUE
The Symposium will take place within the INRIA Rocquencourt research
centre which can be easily reached by car, by train or by bus, either
by taking public transportations or the free INRIA facilities. The
different routes are fully detailed on the INRIA special webpage.
PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
Prospective authors should prepare a full paper and submit it
electronically. The paper should consist of 5-10 pages in A4 format
with 11 pt font and should conform to the style guidelines outlined on
the MIRAGE 2003 website. LaTeX style sheets, MSWord templates and more
detailed information on the submission process can be found on the
MIRAGE 2003 website.
All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the Program
Committee; additional reviewers will be consulted if necessary. The
papers should provide sufficient background information and should
clearly indicate the original contribution. They should state and
discuss the main results and provide adequate references.
CONFERERENCE PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in the CD-Rom conference proceedings
in pdf-format. Authors will be encouraged to include additional
multimedia content like sound files, demo's and video sequences,
subject to space availability. Authors wishing to take advantage of
this possibility should contact the Steering Committee for additional
instructions.
