8th Fall Workshop
VISION, MODELING, AND VISUALIZATION 2003 (VMV2003)
November 19-21, 2003
Munich, Germany
organized by:
Computer Graphics & Visualization Group
Technische Universitdt M|nchen
Media Technology Group
Technischen Universitdt M|nchen
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
DFG Collaborative Research Center SFB 453:
"High-Fidelity Telepresence and Teleaction"
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 eighth 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 Institutes. After three
meetings in Erlangen, one in Alpbach, Austria, one at the
Max-Planck-Institut f|r Informatik in Saarbr|cken, one at the
University of Stuttgart, and the previous one again in Erlangen, the
2003 workshop will take place in Munich.
The workshop is organized by DFG Graduate Research Center SFB 603 and
the DFG Graduate College GRK-244 and its involved intitutes. It is
supported this year by the University of Munich, 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 2003:
- Peter Schrvder, California Institute of Technology, USA
- Thomas Vetter, University of Freiburg, Germany
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://vmv.in.tum.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: kipfer@in.tum.de.
Authors' Schedule:
Well ahead of deadline: Obtain author's kit and LaTeX style-file
- June 9, 2003: Paper submission
- July 27, 2003: Notification of acceptance
- August 31, 2003: Registration deadline for authors
