======================== IVCNZ 2006 http://citr.auckland.ac.nz/ivcnz06/ November 27-29, 2006 Image and Vision Computing New Zealand Great Barrier Island, New Zealand Paper deadline: 11 September, 2006 Call for papers: ============== IVCNZ 2006 Call for Papers Image and Vision Computing New Zealand is an annual international conference on all aspects of Computer Vision, Image Processing, Visualisation and Computer Graphics. In 2006, IVCNZ will be held on Great Barrier Island, a rugged and unspoilt island at the entrance to the Hauraki Gulf. About 100kms from the centre of Auckland, Great Barrier Island protects the Hauraki Gulf from the Pacific Ocean. It has a permanent population of only 1000 people and is mostly wilderness with excellent walking tracks, ancient kauri forests and indigeneous wild-life. It can be reached from Auckland by light plane in about 20 minutes or regular ferry in about 3 hours. (Great Barrier's isolation means that it is occasionally difficult to reach by scheduled transport services: a backup location on the Coromandel Peninsula - a similar distance from Auckland - has been reserved.) Conference Co-Chairs: John Morris and Patrice Delmas Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: Augmented and Virtual Reality Automated visual surveillance Computer graphics Enhancement of video and still images Feature detection and feature extraction Geometric algebra in vision and graphics Graph matching Image compression and coding Image based rendering Image analysis and understanding Mesh acquisition and simplification Motion tracking and analysis Object recognition Pattern recognition, clustering, and classification Reconstruction techniques Scientific visualization Signal processing Sonar and acoustical imaging Statistical inference and characterisation Stereo analysis Shape recovery from multiple images Optical Character Recognition Submissions must be complete manuscripts (see conference page for details). The conference will consist of oral and poster sessions, and no distinction will be made between the two types of presentation in the proceedings: authors may request the type of presentation they consider most appropriate for their paper. Dates (tentative end of February 06 - see conference page for actual dates): Sep 11 - Deadline for submissions Oct 10 - Notification of acceptance Oct 18 - Final papers due Oct 18 - Last date for author registration Nov 27-29 - IVCNZ conference Homepage: http://citr.auckland.ac.nz/ivcnz06/
