 Abstract (500 words):      10 June 2002

 For the past ten years, the conference on Videometrics has been
 providing a unique forum for computer vision and Photogrammetry
 researchers and practitioners to present the latest advances in precise
 3D measurement and modeling from imaging and range sensors. This
 conference was originally focused on the metric performance of sensors
 and algorithms to produce the most accurate and reliable geometric
 measurements and models. Topics such as sensor calibration, performance
 evaluation, and accurate object reconstruction were prevailing. This has
 now been expanded to encompass all phases of 3D imaging and modeling of
 real scenes including automation of data collection and processing,
 improving the visual quality and realism, visualization, animation, and
 data management for real-time manipulation. This is in response to the
 fast growing interest in 3D imaging and modeling technology and the
 increase in demand of such models in applications such as rapid product
 development, virtual museums, documentation of monuments and
 architecture for culture heritage, marketing and tourism, human body
 modeling, medicine, and exploration of remote and hazardous sites, to
 name a few.
 
 We invite submission of original research contributions, as well as
 demonstrations of successful applications in, but not limited to, the
 following technical areas:
 
 3D Sensing and Calibration:
 * 3D sensing and scanning devices, systems, and methods
 * advances in practical and automatic calibration techniques
 * automatic data acquisition and strategies for next best view planning
 * human digitizing
 * sensor and data fusion.
 3D Processing and Modeling:
 * precise object, site, and complex environment modeling
 * assessment of model quality
 * automatic matching and segmentation of structured and unstructured
   scenes
 * projective vs. perspective transformations
 * range data processing and modeling
 * multiview registration and integration
 * modeling of deformable surfaces
 * 3D medical image analysis.
 Visualization:
 * hybrid image- and model-based rendering
 * multiresolution 3D representations
 * texture acquisition and integration
 * viewpoint/illumination dependent texture mapping
 * realistic rendering representations and techniques.
 Motion Capture and Animation:
 * capture, storing, archiving, analysis, and display of image sequences
 * procedures that facilitate the use of cameras as transducers
 * image matching and tracking in motion analysis and surface
   deformation.
 Applications (industrial, medical, cultural, entertainment, etc.)
 The program committee will review all submissions.
