Subject:  CFP Deadline extended for IEEE Workshop on Qualitative Vision (1/29/93)

Due to the demand and requests for extensions, the Committee has
decided to extend the submission deadline to Friday, January 29, 1993.

			CALL FOR PAPERS
                	===============

       		IEEE WORKSHOP ON QUALITATIVE VISION
        	Omni Park Central -- New York City
                  	Monday, June 14, 1993
								

WORKSHOP THEME:

Understanding, representing  and  incorporating  information on object
qualities  from  disparate  sources is key  to building  more  general
and  functional  computer  vision  systems.  Effective  representation
is affected by: 
   o the quality of the object that is captured by a representation or
     description
   o the interplay and synthesis of these qualities when multiple
     object descriptions are available
   o the computational aspect of object qualities that participate in
     an effective representation
   o functional object qualities that guide visual reasoning.

The IEEE  Workshop  on  Qualitative  Vision  will focus on qualitative
descriptions and representations  of  the visual environment,  and new
algorithms for their computation.


WORKSHOP PROGRAM:

The  goal  of  the  IEEE Workshop on Qualitative Vision  is  to  bring
together  researchers  from  different  disciplines   for  the  active
discussion  of  the technical  issues   and   problems related  to the
development of qualitative  vision  techniques.  This one day Workshop
will be held in New York City  preceding  CVPR93. Sessions will be led
by an invited talk, and refereed  papers selected from those submitted
will be presented and published in a Workshop proceedings  distributed
by IEEE.

We invite the submission of papers on topics that include:
   o the synthesis  of  multiple visual qualities  (e.g.,  perceptual
     grouping, evidential reasoning over disparate sources)
   o the study of salient features or object qualities  (e.g.,  robust
     features which are invariant under image transformations)
   o efficient  and  innovative visual qualities  to support purposive
     operations (e.g., as exploited by active vision systems)
   o direct perception
   o discussion of differences between qualitative and  reconstructive
     approaches.
This list of topics  is not intended  to be exhaustive, and  inquiries
should be directed to the program committee.


PAPER SUBMISSION:

Papers should be limited to  20 double-space pages, including  figures
and  references.  Papers  should  include a  title page containing the
names and addresses of the authors, and an abstract of up to 200 words.
An  additional page titled  "Summary Page"   should  be included which
briefly describes the contribution of the paper. Five copies should be
received at the address below by Friday, January 29, 1993:

  The analysis of signals and images at multiple scales
is an attractive framework for many problems in
computer vision, signal and image processing.
Wavelet theory provides a mathematically precise understanding
of the concept of multiresolution.

   The conference shall focus on novel applications of wavelet methods of
analysis and processing techniques, refinements of existing methods,
and new theoretical models.  When possible, papers should compare
and contrast wavelet based approaches to traditional techniques.

Topics for the conference may include but are not limited to:

    - image pyramids
    - frames and overcomplete representations
    - multiresolution algorithms
    - wavelet-based noise reduction and restoration
    - multiscale edge detection
    - wavelet texture analysis and segmentation
    - Gabor transforms and space-frequency localization
    - wavelet-based fractal analysis
    - multiscale random processes
    - wavelets and neural networks
    - image representations from wavelet maxima or zero-crossings
    - wavelet compression, coding and signal representation
    - wavelet theory and multirate filterbanks
    - wavelets in medical imaging
