The theme of this conference is application of geometric methods in
low-level vision tasks, specifically for shape and motion estimation.
Over the past few years, there has been increased  interest in the use
of differential geometry and geometric probability methods for various
low-level vision problems. Papers describing novel contributions in
all aspects of geometric and probabilistic methods in low-level vision
are solicited, with particular emphasis on:

Differential Geometric Methods for Shape Representation

Probability and Geometry (Geometric Probability)

Energy-based Methods for Shape Estimation

Geometry and Motion Estimation

From: European Conference on Computer Vision <eccv92@dist.dist.unige.it>
Subject: Preliminary Announcement (ECCV92)

                                     ECCV-92
                  Second European Conference on Computer Vision

                             PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT

                                 May 18-23, 1992
                             Santa Margherita Ligure
                                      ITALY

          OBJECTIVES AND TOPICS

               ECCV-92 will be held in Santa Margherita  Ligure  (Italy)
          in  May 1992.  The main objective of the Conference is to pro-
          vide a forum to present and discuss recent  research  advances
          in the field of Computer Vision.

               The first ECCV Conference was held in Antibes (France) in
          April  1990 and was stimulated by the perception that the com-
          munity of researchers working on computer vision in Europe has
          grown  considerably in the last few years.  The ESPRIT initia-
          tive and the increasing number of  research  projects  carried
          out  jointly  by scientists from different European Countries,
          has helped the creation of a  "network"  of  research  centers
          active in this field.

               The Conference is open to international participation (in
          ECCV-90  one  third  of the published papers came from outside
          Europe) and all the papers will be evaluated by the  Programme
          Committee on scientific grounds.

               Topics of interest are: Colour, Texture, Stereo,  Motion,
          Image  Features,  Stereo  Motion  Cooperation,  Active Vision,
          Shape, Vision based Control, Hardware Architectures,  Applica-
          tions.


          STRUCTURE OF THE CONFERENCE

          The programme will be articulated in three parts:

          (1)  A four day, single track Conference

          (2)  an "ESPRIT day" devoted to  the  presentation  of  ESPRIT
               projects  in  the field of computer vision (this day will
               be opened to non-European participants).

          (3)  Workshops on Esprit  Basic  Research  Action  on  Machine
               Vision.

          PAPERS
          Authors will be asked to  present  unpublished,  original
          papers  either  as  LONG PAPERS (appoximately 20 double spaced
          pages) or as  SHORT  PAPERS  (approximately  7  double  spaced
          pages). A poster session will also be organized.

          DEADLINES
          November 1990:                  First Announcement
          March 1991:                     Call for Papers

          PROCEEDINGS
          The proceedings of ECCV-90 were published  by  Springer-Verlag
          in  the  "Lecture  Notes in Computer Science" series and it is
          intended to  make  a  similar  arrangement  for  ECCV-92.  The
          proceedings  will be distributed to participants at the begin-
          nig of the Conference.  In addition, a selection of  the  best
          papers  from  ECCV-90  will  shortly be published in a Special
          Issue of Image and Vision Computing. Again, it is intended  to
          make similar arrangements for ECCV-92.

          VIDEO PROCEEDINGS
          In addition to the publication of the  "paper  proceedings"  a
          collection  of  videos  will  be  produced showing the dynamic
          results presented. The selection of the videos will be coordi-
          nated by Giovanni Garibotto of ELSAG S.p.A.

          RELATED EVENTS
          Scientific Events: In the  week  preceding  ECCV-92  the  IEEE
          Conference  on  Robotics  and  Automation will be held in Nice
          (France). Santa Margherita Ligure  is  conveniently  connected
          through  local  transportation  (train  or  car) for those who
          whish to attend both events.

          1992 Celebration of the Discovery of America:  The  year  1992
          will  be  a special year for the city of Genoa.  The city will
          host a number of cultural and entertainement events in  honour
          of  the  500th  anniversary of the discovery of America by the
          Genoese explorer Cristoforo  Colombo.  Among  these  events  a
          world  exhibition  and  a  new acquarium will be opened to the
          public.

          VENUE OF THE CONFERENCE
          The conference will be held in Santa Margherita Ligure at  the
          Hotel Miramare. Santa Margherita Ligure is a small town in the
          Italian Riviera  close  to  the  city  of  Genova.  The  Hotel
          Miramare is located on the sea facing the Portofino Gulf a few
          kilometers from the village of Portofino. Also  close  to  the
          conference  site is the pleasant resort area of "Cinque Terre"
          whose picturesque villages on the rocky coast can  be  reached
          by  train  only.  The Conference site can be reached by car or
          by train from the major cities of  the  northern  and  central
          Italy.   The  closest international airports are Genova, Pisa,
          Milan and Rome.
