CALL FOR PAPERS for WACV

Computer Vision has become increasingly important in real world systems
for commercial, industry and military applications. Computer Vision
related technologies have started migrating from academic institutions
to industrial laboratories, and onward into deployable systems. The goal
of this workshop is to bring together international,academic,
industrial, and government researchers, and companies applying vision
techniques.

The workshop will provide a setting that will allow researchers in the
different applications areas to interact and interchange ideas, so that
applications are thoroughly understood and there is a transfer of
concepts from one application area to another.

Topics include (but are not limited to )
Industrial Inspection/Manufacturing
Face Detection
Face Recognition
Fingerprints
Biometrics Fusion
Road/Traffic Analysis
3D modeling
Image-based Rendering for Entertainment
Motion/Stereo processing/segmentation
Real-time Tracking
Graphics Recognition/Engineering Drawings
Classification/Recognition
Security/Surveillance
Human Motion Analysis/Capture
Document Analysis
Gesture/Face/Hand Recognition
Medical Analysis
Augmented Reality
Performance Evaluation (of any vision application)
Human-Computer Interaction
Scientific Imaging Applications
Visual Navigation and Station Keeping
Robotics Applications
Image/Video Indexing and Retrieval
Vision for Entertainment
Perception Aids for the Handicapped
Underwater Industrial Applications

The workshop will have 6 page papers in the proceedings which may be
presented as either oral and poster presentations. The workshop, in
conjunction with IEEE MOTION, will also have a demonstration session.

Expanding from past WACV workshops, in an effort to get more
applications companies involved, this year WACV will have an
"Development" abstract track, were companies can submit a 1-2 page
abstract of their vision related product or services. These will be
reviewed by a subset of the program committee, but not held to the same
scientific/research standards of a full paper. Rather they are meant to
help introduce the community to the product or application space.
Abstracts maybe selected for either oral or poster presentation.
Abstracts (from either demos or products) will be included in the CD-Rom
proceedings, but not in the printed proceeding.

Key dates (submit at http://wacv2005.vast.uccs.edu):
Paper Abstract submission: 8am MDT, July 23 2004
Full Paper submission: 8am MDT, July 31 2004
Reviews Due Back*: 8am MDT Friday Sept 3 2004
Accept Notification Monday, Sept. 20 2004
Camera Ready Copy Due Friday, Oct. 15 2004
Demo/Development Abstracts: 8am MST, Friday Nov 12 2004
Meeting@Breckenridge Wednesday January 5 thru Friday January7, 2005

And there are no exception to the dates as we have cut all the timing as
close as possible. (E.g. For comparison CVPRs deadline is 8 months
before event, our is only 6 months)

**NOTE: While we have a diverse PC the amount of reviewing would be too
large without added reviewers. To help ensure a broad pool, we are
instituting a true peer reviewing policy. For each paper submitted, the
authors of that paper will also considers reviewers and will be
responsible for providing reviews of 3 papers (per paper submitted). If
there are multiple authors they can spread out that reviewing, but for
every paper submitted is responsible for 3 reviews, or that paper will
automatically be rejected. (This policy does not apply to the
abstracts, just full papers. But we encourage abstract submitters to
sign-up as reviewers as well)
