     Acivs 2005 is a conference focusing on techniques for building adaptive,
     intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems. Acivs 2005 will consist of
     four days of lecture sessions, both regular (25 mns) and invited
     presentations, and poster sessions. The proceedings of Acivs 2005 will be
     published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
     series.
 
                      Topics include (but are not limited to)
       * Vision 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)
       * 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 Transmission (still image/video coding,
         model-based coding, synthetic/natural hybrid coding, quality metrics,
         image watermarking, image and video databases, image search and
         sorting, video indexing, multimedia applications)
       * System Architecture and Performance Evaluation (implementation of
         algorithms, benchmarking, evaluation criteria, algorithmic evaluation)
 
     Both classical research papers and application papers are welcome.
 
                                       VENUE
     The conference will take place in the Building G, Middelheim campus,
     University of Antwerp, Belgium on Sept 20-23, 2005. The venue can be
     easily reached from Antwerp Airport - Deurne or by train from
     Brussels main airport.
