Mirage 2005 Call for papers MIRAGE 2005 is an international conference with focus on Computer Vision/Computer Graphics collaboration techniques involving image analysis/synthesis approaches. In the domain of Computer Vision, this analysis by synthesis collaboration may take the form of model-based approaches for which the analysis, recognition or understanding process does not rely on the data only but is linked to the optimization of a parametric model introduced A PRIORI. In the field of Computer Graphics, this thematic refers to image-based approaches which found the modeling, animation, lighting or rendering process on the analysis of real pre-existing data in order to gain in productivity or in realism. In both cases, this extraction and synthesis collaboration can be iterative and conducted in a loop: the synthesized information laying the foundations for a better characterization that will in turn enable the synthesis step. Augmented Reality is a direct application of this collaboration . Authors are encouraged to submit papers on theoretical, computational, experimental or industrial aspects of model-based image analysis and image-based model synthesis. Mirage 2005 will be held in the new Jacques-Louis Lions conference room of the INRIA Rocquencourt research centre on March, 1-2 2005. The INRIA Rocquencourt research centre is located at a short drive of the historic Versailles castle. Topics include (but are not limited to) : * Model-based imaging and analysis * Image-based modeling and 3D reconstruction * Data driven animation * Image and video-based lighting and rendering * Model-based vision approaches * Model-based indexing and database retrieval * Model-based object tracking in image sequences * Model-based image and shape analysis * Model-based video compression techniques With applications in the field of : * Human/Computer interfaces * Video-games and entertainment industry * Media production from film, broadcast and games * post-production, computer animation, virtual special effects * Realistic 3D simulation , virtual prototyping * Multimedia applications, multimedia databases classification * Virtual and augmented reality * Medical and biomedical applications Venue and transportation The Symposium will take place in the new Jacques-Louis Lions conference room within the INRIA Rocquencourt research centre. The center can be easily reached by car, by train or by bus, either by taking public transportations or the free INRIA facilities. The different routes are fully detailed on the INRIA special webpage. Should a sufficient number of people be interested, a free dayly shuttle between Paris and Rocquencourt could be provided. If you are interested, please tick the appropriate box on the registration form. Registration fees do not include lodging and travel expenses. Some information on accommodation in Paris or Versailles is available on the Paris and Versailles web sites. In case of any problem as well as for additional information, do not hesitate to get in touch with the conference office which will operate during the whole conference. Conference languages English and French. Paper submission and review process Prospective authors should prepare a full paper and submit it electronically. The paper should consist of 5-10 pages in A4 format with 10 pt font and should conform to the style guidelines outlined on the Mirage 2005 website. LaTeX style sheets, MSWord templates and more detailed information on the submission process can be found on the Mirage 2005 website. All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the Program Committee; additional reviewers will be consulted if necessary. The papers should provide sufficient background information and should clearly indicate the original contribution. They should state and discuss the main results and provide adequate references. Confererence proceedings Accepted papers will be published in the CD-Rom conference proceedings in pdf-format. Authors are encouraged to include additional multimedia content like sound files, demo's and video sequences, subject to space availability. Authors wishing to take advantage of this possibility should contact the Steering Committee for additional instructions. Important deadlines November 15, 2004 Full paper submission December 20, 2004 Notification of acceptance January 15, 2005 Camera-ready papers due January 15, 2005 Early registration deadline February 1, 2005 Registration deadline for authors of accepted papers February 15, 2005 Late registration deadline March, 1-2 2005 Mirage 2005 Registration Due to security policy, the number of seats at the conference is strictly limited: thus, early registration is strongly recommended.
