VIDEOMETRICS IV            Second Call For Papers

Part of: SPIE's International Symposium on
            Intelligent Systems & Automated Manufacturing 
            [Photonics East `95]
22 October - 27 October, 1995
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Program Committee:
Sabry El-Hakim (Canada), Chairman, Hirofumi Chikatsu (Japan), 
Armin Gruen (Switzerland), Henrik Haggren (Finland), Kurt 
Novak(USA), Mark Shortis (Australia), Walter Snow (USA).

This forth conference on Videometrics addresses developments and 
applications of the state-of-the-art vision-based measurement 
technologies. The primary function of Videometrics is to obtain 
quantitative information about physical objects or the environment. 
This includes methods to accurately and automatically recover 3-D 
properties, such as coordinates and dimensions, from images. These 
images are obtained not only from traditional CCD cameras but also, 
among others, active 3-D laser scanners, high resolution digital still 
video, VCR's, structured lights, and  integrated different types of 
data.  Calibration and performance evaluation of vision systems for 
measurement-related applications remains an important issue.  The 
designer must be able to precisely predict the resulting accuracy 
from a given vision system, in a given configuration, under all the 
conditions expected during operation.  Improving the metric 
performance of object positioning, orientation and tracking in three-
dimensional space, and geometric modelling of the environment is 
also dealt with in this conference. Recent advances, notably those 
documented in photogrammetric publications, show that the 
achievable accuracy has reached a level that makes it acceptable for 
many industrial requirements such as gauging and reverse 
engineering. An important objective of this conference is to bring 
together machine vision specialists, photogrammetrists, system 
designers, and potential users, particularly those with high 
tolerance requirements and those already convinced of the 
importance and payback of vision metrology, to discuss and 
exchange ideas on the above issues.

Papers are solicited in  the following and related areas, with 
particular emphasis on system applications:

-successfully demonstrated system applications
-on-line control systems
-processing and analysis of 3-D data
-object and environment (site) modelling
-dynamic tracking in 3-D
-rigorous and practical camera and system calibration
-accuracy and performance evaluation
-precise and robust measurement algorithms
-integration of various sensor data for metrology
