5th Int. Conf. Scale-Space and PDE Methods in Computer Vision The Fifth International Conference on Scale-Space and PDE Methods in Computer Vision Schloesschen Schoenburg Hofgeismar, Germany, April 7-9, 2005 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Scale-space techniques and methods based on partial differential equations (PDEs) have become widely used tools in image processing and computer vision. They include a variety of methods such as linear scale-spaces, nonlinear diffusion filtering, geometric flows, adaptive scalable kernels, level set methods, variational techniques, and continuous- scale morphology. This conference deals with all aspects of these techniques, including - theoretical foundations (axiomatic foundations, well-posedness, differential-geometric aspects, relations to other multiscale paradigms, biological relevance), - discrete and numerical aspects (discrete theories, efficient numerical methods), - applications in image processing and computer vision (image restoration, shape analysis, grouping, segmentation, motion, stereo, registration) - applications in other fields (biomedical applications, industrial inspection, security). It is the fifth conference in a series of successful biannual meetings held in Utrecht, Corfu, Vancouver and Skye. It will take place in a little castle (Schloesschen Schoenburg) in a scenic place near the small town of Hofgeismar, Germany. The conference is sponsored by the German Pattern Recognition Society (DAGM). It is planned to publish the proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series. Selected papers will appear in a special issue of the International Journal of Computer Vision. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts of not more than 12 pages in Springer LNCS format by October 1, 2004.
