Mirage 2005 Call for papers
MIRAGE 2005 is an international conference with focus on Computer
Vision/Computer Graphics collaboration techniques involving image
analysis/synthesis approaches.
In the domain of Computer Vision, this analysis by synthesis
collaboration may take the form of model-based approaches for which the
analysis, recognition or understanding process does not rely on the data
only but is linked to the optimization of a parametric model introduced A
PRIORI.
In the field of Computer Graphics, this thematic refers to image-based
approaches which found the modeling, animation, lighting or rendering
process on the analysis of real pre-existing data in order to gain in
productivity or in realism. In both cases, this extraction and synthesis
collaboration can be iterative and conducted in a loop: the synthesized
information laying the foundations for a better characterization that
will in turn enable the synthesis step.
Augmented Reality is a direct application of this collaboration .
Authors are encouraged to submit papers on theoretical, computational,
experimental or industrial aspects of model-based image analysis and
image-based model synthesis.
Mirage 2005 will be held in the new Jacques-Louis Lions conference room
of the INRIA Rocquencourt research centre on March, 1-2 2005. The INRIA
Rocquencourt research centre is located at a short drive of the historic
Versailles castle.
Topics include (but are not limited to) :
* Model-based imaging and analysis
* Image-based modeling and 3D reconstruction
* Data driven animation
* Image and video-based lighting and rendering
* Model-based vision approaches
* Model-based indexing and database retrieval
* Model-based object tracking in image sequences
* Model-based image and shape analysis
* Model-based video compression techniques
With applications in the field of :
* Human/Computer interfaces
* Video-games and entertainment industry
* Media production from film, broadcast and games
* post-production, computer animation, virtual special effects
* Realistic 3D simulation , virtual prototyping
* Multimedia applications, multimedia databases classification
* Virtual and augmented reality
* Medical and biomedical applications
Venue and transportation
The Symposium will take place in the new Jacques-Louis Lions conference
room within the INRIA Rocquencourt research centre. The center can be
easily reached by car, by train or by bus, either by taking public
transportations or the free INRIA facilities. The different routes are
fully detailed on the INRIA special webpage.
Should a sufficient number of people be interested, a free dayly shuttle
between Paris and Rocquencourt could be provided. If you are interested,
please tick the appropriate box on the registration form.
Registration fees do not include lodging and travel expenses. Some
information on accommodation in Paris or Versailles is available on the
Paris and Versailles web sites.
In case of any problem as well as for additional information, do not
hesitate to get in touch with the conference office which will operate
during the whole conference.
Conference languages
English and French.
Paper submission and review process
Prospective authors should prepare a full paper and submit it
electronically. The paper should consist of 5-10 pages in A4 format with
10 pt font and should conform to the style guidelines outlined on the
Mirage 2005 website. LaTeX style sheets, MSWord templates and more
detailed information on the submission process can be found on the Mirage
2005 website.
All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the Program
Committee; additional reviewers will be consulted if necessary. 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 are encouraged to include additional multimedia
content like sound files, demo's and video sequences, subject to space
availability. Authors wishing to take advantage of this possibility
should contact the Steering Committee for additional instructions.
