Paper submission: 19 May 2003
Decisions: 11 August 2003
Camera ready: 1 September 2003


O B J E C T I V E

To bring together researchers in the fields of:
 -- texture synthesis (modelling, generation, rendering, coding etc.)
 -- texture analysis (classification, segmentation, etc.)
 -- visual geometry (shape from texture etc.) and
 -- texture applications



T E C H N I C A L   S C O P E

Papers were invited but not limited to the following topics:

TECHNIQUES:
 -- Image texture modelling, coding, synthesis, generation, rendering, and
relighting
 -- Shape from texture, viewpoint effects and invariants;
 -- Texture classification, segmentation, defect detection, and image
retrieval
 -- Classifier & feature design
 -- Illumination effects and invariants
 -- Colour texture, colour invariants
 -- Capture and analysis of three-dimensional surface and volumetric
textures

APPLICATIONS:
 -- Augmented/virtual reality
 -- Interactive entertainment and e-commerce
 -- Film and video post production
 -- Textiles, virtual catalogues, garment design etc.
 -- Medical
 -- Remote sensing
 -- Industrial inspection
 -- Robotics
