 IMVIP 2006 - The Irish Machine Vision and Image Processing Conference,
 will take place from the 30th of August to the 1st of September 2006.
 IMVIP 2006 is the main conference of the Irish Pattern Recognition and
 Classification Society (IPRCS), a member body of the International
 Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). The conference will be
 hosted by the Vision Systems Laboratory, RINCE, Dublin City University,
 bringing together theoreticians and practitioners, industrialists and
 academics, from the numerous related disciplines involved in the
 processing and analysis of image-based information. 
 
 IMVIP 2006 is a single-track conference consisting of high quality
 previously unpublished contributed papers, presented orally, and if the
 numbers demand, there will be poster sessions. The conference emphasises
 both theoretical research results and practical engineering experience
 in all areas. Full papers will be subject to a double-blind review
 process by the Programme Committee. In addition to the contributed
 programme, there will also be talks by invited speakers. Contributions
 are sought in all aspects of image processing, pattern analysis and
 machine vision, including but not restricted to the following topics:
 * Visually Guided Robot Manipulation and Navigation
 * Data Clustering and Texture Analysis
 * Image & Video Representation, Compression and Coding
 * Medical and Biomedical Imaging
 * Active Vision, Tracking and Motion Analysis
 * Object and Event Recognition
 * 2D, 3D Scene Analysis and Visualisation
 * Image Processing in Forensic Science
 * Image/Shape Representation and Recovery
 * Applications, Architectures and Systems Integration
 
 Final date for electronic submission of papers: 31st March 2006
 
 Instructions for submission and templates for the submission of electronic
 documents can be found at the conference web site:
