============================================================
We invite you to attend the 4th IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision Systems.
The 4th ICVS will be held in New York City on January 5-7, 2006. This conference aims
to gather researchers and developers from academic fields and industries worldwide to
share their research results regarding the systems aspects of computer vision.
The conference site is situated in lower Manhattan^Òs Financial District, just steps
from the old World Trade Center site, close to Wall Street, TriBeCa and
Little Italy. Ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are less than one block
away. The beautiful Winter Garden is just across the street.
Early registration ends December 15.
Keynote Speaker: Myron Krueger
