============================================================ Final call for participation 4th IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision Systems (ICVS '06) January 5-7, 2006 St. Johns University New York, New York www.cs.colostate.edu/icvs06 ============================================================ We invite you to attend the 4th IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision Systems. The 4th ICVS will be held in New York City on January 5-7, 2006. This conference aims to gather researchers and developers from academic fields and industries worldwide to share their research results regarding the systems aspects of computer vision. The conference site is situated in lower Manhattan^Òs Financial District, just steps from the old World Trade Center site, close to Wall Street, TriBeCa and Little Italy. Ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are less than one block away. The beautiful Winter Garden is just across the street. Early registration ends December 15.
