Optomechatronic Computer-Vision Systems http://www.isot07.org/files/cfp/CFP_4_v4.pdf International Symposium on Optomechatronic Technologies (ISOT 2007), October 8-10, 2007, Beaulieu, Lausanne, Switzerland. http://www.isot07.org/index.php http://www.isot07.org/files/cfp/short_CFP_151106_v5.pdf Deadlines: Abstract Due: March 1, 2007 Full paper Due: July 15, 2007 Computer-vision systems are being developed and employed in an increasing range of applications from surveillance and security to manufacturing and industry, archaeology, entertainment, and medicine. Recent advances in research and development of vision-based sensors and systems have been the result of advances in both computer-vision and optical-system design, and the innovative fusion of these technologies. Optomechatronic computer-vision systems have evolved in intelligent robot-vision systems, automated inspection, autonomous tracking systems, medical, biological, and agricultural imaging and diagnosis, and novel biometric techniques, to name only a few areas. Improved technology in optical devices, and computer-vision techniques, has led to increased intelligence and capabilities of new systems. This conference will bring together scientists from academia and industry to exchange the latest ideas and newest techniques, principles, and applications related to optomechatronic computer-vision systems. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • sensing technology for computer-vision systems and machine vision including optics, illuminations, image sensors, devices, and measurement methods • imaging techniques including range imaging, stereo, surface analysis, particle analysis, defect analysis • integration of sensing technologies including multi-sensor fusion, and multi- view analysis • robotic-vision systems, including human-robot interfaces and teleoperated robots, semi-autonomous, and autonomous systems, 2-D and 3-D image-guided systems and robots • applications including automation, vehicle control, manufacturing and visual inspection • tracking of objects, human body, hand, and face, motion analysis • hand and facial gesture recognition • medical imaging, analysis, modeling, and diagnosis • biometrics • biological and agricultural imaging • optical measurement systems, range-sensing, fringe-projection, phase- shifting, phase-measurement and interferometry techniques • pattern and object recognition • surveillance and security applications • computer-vision graphics and display • augmented reality.
