===================================================================== Announcement and First Call For Papers: Image and Vision Computing New Zealand 2004 Akaroa, South Island, New Zealand - November 21st to 23rd 2004 - IVCNZ is New Zealand's premier conference for innovations in computer vision and image processing. Held annually, it attracts an international forum of scientists and researchers from over a dozen countries. IVCNZ has expanded its horizons since its inception in 1986 and covers all aspects of image processing, computer vision, visualisation, and applications. This year, for a change of scenery, the conference is to be held in the holiday resort of Akaroa on Banks Peninsula, about an hour's drive from Christchurch. In order to make it possible to start the technical part of the conference on Monday morning we encourage participants to arrive in Christchurch by Sunday afternoon, at which time transport to Akaroa will be provided to allow participants to attend the opening session on Sunday evening. Accommodation ranging from luxury suites and hotels to camping-ground cabins is available in Akaroa and will be made available via the conference website. We invite you to take part in the conference by submitting a technical paper or poster. Papers are invited from all areas of image processing, computer vision, and computer graphics.
