--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mirage 2003 intends to be a very particular 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 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 or industrial aspects of model-based image analysis and
synthesis. Mirage 2003 will be held in the new Jacques-Louis Lions
conference room of the INRIA Rocquencourt research centre on March,
10-11 2003. The INRIA Rocquencourt research centre is located at a
short drive of the historic Versailles castle.

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
     3D realistic simulation
     Virtual and augmented reality
     Generation of special effects
     Model-based evaluation of computer vision techniques, Image quality

     Applications
          Human-computer interaction, haptics
          Virtual prototyping
          Post-production, computer animation
          Multimedia applications (including face and gesture
recognition), multimedia databases
          Military applications
          Medical and biomedical applications
          Applications of fractals and multifractals
