Workshop on Computer Vision System Control Architectures
VSCA 2003
http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/rbf/VSCA03/
March 31, 2003
Convention Center Graz, Austria
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In conjunction with ICVS 2003 http://dib.joanneum.at/icvs03
- Sponsored by ECVision http://www.ecvision.info and
CAVIAR project: http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/rbf/CAVIAR/
- Local organisation by Edinburgh University :

--- SCOPE ------------------------------------------------------------------
Modern high-level vision algorithms must take account of greater options
than in the past:
alternative algorithms
alternative hypotheses
larger datasets
temporal activity sequences
coarse and fine grained processes
real-time interpretation systems
All these lead to vision systems with embedded specialized process controllers.
This workshop will bring together recent research into the issues involving
the control of the system's processing (in contrast to what the system is
processing). This means research that includes:
model-driven control architectures
data-driven control architectures
opportunistic control architectures
blackboard systems
reactive and behavior-based systems
The goal of the workshop is to invigorate a research area that has not
had much exposure in the past decade, but which is likely to become
important in the next decade as the research community shifts to problems
in data stream interpretation.
