 SCOPE:
   During the last twenty years a wide variety of mathematical and
   computational frameworks have been proposed to deal with computer
   vision applications. More recently many Computer Vision researchers
   have started to pay more attention to the use of variational,
   geometric, lagrangian and level set approaches to solve vision
   problems. Such approaches are widely used nowadays and attempt to
   provide original solutions to a large variety of applications. This
   workshop focuses on these novel mathematical techniques and their
   applications to Computer Vision problems. 
 
 IMPORTANT INFORMATION: 
   Selected Papers from the Workshop will appear in a special issue of
   the International Journal of Computer Vision The Imaging and
   Visualization Department of Siemens Corporate Research will sponsor
   the BEST student paper award (1,000$)
