               ACIVS 2002 Call for Papers
   Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems
                  September 9-11, 2002,
               Ghent University, Belgium
            http://telin.rug.ac.be/acivs2002/

ACIVS 2002 is the fourth of a series of workshops focusing on techniques
for building adaptive, intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems. Papers
are solicited in the areas of image processing, pattern recognition,
compression and algorithm assessment. ACIVS 2002 will consist of three days
of lecture sessions, both regular (30 mns) and invited presentations. The
conference fee (approx. 300 EUR, i.e., currently about 260-270 US$) includes
a social program (conference dinner, coffee breaks, snacks and cultural
activities). Students and IEEE members can register at a reduced fee.

Topics include (but are not limited to)

   * Image Processing (image restoration and filtering, segmentation,
     textures, model-based algorithms, multiresolution & scale-space
     theory, fractals and multifractals);
   * Pattern Recognition (statistical and structural pattern recognition,
     robust matching and parsing algorithms, automata and grammars,
     learning, recurrent networks);
   * Image and Video Compression, Watermarking;
   * Image Quality and Algorithmic Performance Evaluation (empirical
     evaluation techniques; image & video quality metrics and methods).

Venue

The Symposium will take place in the faculty of Applied Sciences,
Jozef-Plateaustraat 22, 9000 Ghent, Belgium on September 9-11, 2002. The
venue is located within walking distance of the historic center of the
beautiful medieval city of Ghent, which can be easily reached by train from
Brussels main airport.

Paper submission and review process

Prospective authors should prepare a full paper and submit it
electronically. The paper should consist of 4-8 pages in A4 format with 11
pt font and should conform to the style guidelines outlined on the ACIVS
2002 website. LaTeX style sheets, MSWord templates and more detailed
information on the submission process can be found on the ACIVS 2002
website (http://telin.rug.ac.be/acivs2002/).
All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the Program
Committee; additional reviewers will be consulted if needed. The papers
should provide sufficient background information and should clearly
indicate the original contribution. They should state and discuss the main
results and provide adequate references.

Confererence proceedings

Accepted papers will be published in the CD-Rom conference proceedings in
pdf-format. Authors may optionally include a directory containing
additional multimedia content, e.g., sound files, demo's or video
sequences, subject to space availability. Authors wishing to take advantage
of this possibility should contact the Steering Committee for additional
instructions.

Expression of interest

Anyone who intends to participate or submit a paper is invited to fill and
send a reply card available at the ACIVS 2002 website
(http://telin.rug.ac.be/acivs2002/).
