Vision Interface has been renamed to
Canadian Conference on Computer and Robot Vision (CRV2004)
The 17th Vision Interface conference now becomes the 1st Canadian
Conference on Computer and Robot Vision. CRV will be held jointly
with AI 2004 and GI 2004, May 17-19 at the University of Western
Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada.

Our sponsors are the Canadian Image Processing and Pattern
Recognition Society http://www.cipprs.org (CIPPRS) and the
International Association of Pattern Recognition
http://www.iapr.org. We are also hoping to hold our conference
in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society
http://www.computer.org , who may publish our proceedings in
paper format and on-line.
The Canadian Conference on Computer and Robot Vision (CRV2004) is
a single-track conference consisting of high quality, previously
unpublished papers, presented either orally or as a poster.
Contributions are sought on any aspect of computer vision, robot
vision, image processing or pattern recognition, including but not
restricted to the following topics:
* 2D/3D Scene analysis
* Active Vision
* Applications - biomedical, robotic, surveillance,
inspection, entertainment
* Augmented Reality
* Biometrics
* Biological & Psychological aspects of Vision
* Calibration & Rectification (Mosaicing)
* Document Processing & Handwriting Recognition (OCR)
* Early Vision
* Face Detection & Recognition
* Gesture Detection & Recognition
* Graphics Recognition/Engineering Drawings
* Human Activity Recognition
* Human-Computer Interaction
* Image/Video Databases (multi-media, image/video retrieval)
* Image Segmentation & Classification
* Industrial applications (manufacturing)
* Learning & Classification methods
* Motion Analysis (optical flow, structure from motion,
correspondences)
* Neural Nets for Vision & Image Understanding
* Object Recognition
* Performance Evaluation Techniques
* Real-time Vision
* Robotic Vision (general)
* Servo-control
* Vision based navigation
* Environment modelling
* Sensor fusion
* Sensor Reliability
* Robot Mapping/Localisation
* SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)
* Robot Control Architectures
* Real-time sensing and control
* Reactive systems
* Sensor-based control
* Shared control
* Augmented reality
* Learning from sensor data
* Shape Analysis
* Stereo vision
* Texture Analysis
* Tracking (2D/3D)
* Video Processing (motion, segmentation, registration)
* Medical Image Analysis
The conference provides an excellent environment for
interdisciplinary interaction as well as for networking of
students and scientists in computer vision, robotic vision, image
understanding and pattern recognition. In addition to regular
sessions, there will be also 3 invited speakers. There will be 2
awards: one for the best regular paper and one for the best
student paper (the student must be the first author).
REGISTRATION:
For a single registration fee, participants can attend
presentations in any of the AI/GI/CRV conferences. This conference
promotes participation of students by significantly reducing the
student registration fee. There is also a reduction in
registration fees for CIPPRS members and IEEE members (if we are
successful in obtaining co-sponsorship/cooperation). CIPPRS
welcomes members from all countries. You can obtain a registration
form at the CIPPRS website http://www.cipprs.org .
* JOINT CONFERENCES:*
CRV2004 will be held in conjunction with GI'2004 (Graphics
Interface) and AI'2004 (Artificial Intelligence). For a single
registration fee, participants can attend presentations at any of
AI/GI/CRV conferences. Fees to attend all three conferences are
the same. Proceedings of the other conferences can be purchased at
the conference.
*PAPER SUBMISSIONS:*
Papers are invited in either French or English. Submissions in
French should be accompanied by an abstract in English. The size
of the papers should be limited to eight double-column pages.
Style files for latex and Word are available at the CIPPRS website
http://www.cipprs.org . Submissions (in pdf only) are to be done
electronically through a conference website (not available yet).
In addition, the abstract and contact information should be
emailed to John Barron, program co-chair at barron@csd.uwo.ca.
All papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the Program Committee.
The accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings, the hardcopy of which will be distributed at the
conference. The proceedings will also be made available on-line by
either IEEE or CIPPRS websites. The best papers will also be
solicited for a special volume of a journal (to be announced).
*INVITED SPEAKERS (2004):*

*Venue:* London is Ontario's 3rd largest city (340,000). It has
the ambiance of a small town and the amenities of a large city.
Its nick name is "Forest City" because of the many tree lined
streets. Founded in 1820, it is ideally situated, about 200km from
Toronto, 250km from Detroit and 150Km from Niagara Falls. It has
many local attractions, including Pioneer Village (see how early
settlers lived and worked), Sha-Nah-Doht Iroquoian Village and
Museum (see how Indians lived in the London area before European
settlement) and Elgin House (the pre-Victorian home of an early
prominent London family). The conference will be held at the
University of Western Ontario. Attendees may stay at one of the
nearby hotels or in campus residence.
