Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems
Dec. 13-16, 2010
Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia

Acivs 2010 is a conference focusing on techniques for building adaptive,
intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems. Acivs 2010 consists of
four days of lecture sessions, both regular (25 mns) and invited
presentations, poster sessions and a special session on Distributed
Camera Systems. The proceedings of Acivs 2010 will be published by
Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and are
listed in the ISI proceedings index.

Conference topics include (but are not limited to)

* Vision systems, including multi-camera systems
* Image and Video Processing (linear/non-linear filtering and
enhancement, restoration, segmentation, wavelets and
multiresolution, Markovian techniques, color processing, modeling,
analysis, interpolation and spatial transforms, motion, fractals and multifractals,
structure from motion, information geometry)
* Pattern Analysis (shape analysis, data and image fusion, pattern matching,
neural nets, learning, grammatical techniques) and Content-Based Image
Retrieval
* Remote Sensing (techniques for filtering, enhancing, compressing, displaying
and analyzing optical, infrared, radar, multi- and hyperspectral airborne
and spaceborne images)
* Still Image and Video Coding and Transmission (still image/video
coding, model-based coding, synthetic/natural hybrid coding, quality metrics,
image and video protection, image and video databases, image search and
sorting, video indexing, multimedia applications)
* System Architecture and Performance Evaluation (implementation of algorithms,
GPU implementation, benchmarking, evaluation criteria, algorithmic
evaluation)

Both classical research papers and application papers are welcome.

Special session on distributed camera systems
Organizers: Richard Kleihorst, VITO NV & Ghent University, Belgium;
