11th International Fall Workshop

VISION, MODELING, AND VISUALIZATION 2006

November 22 -- 24, 2006
RWTH Aachen University, Germany


organized by

Lehrstuhl für Informatik 8, RWTH Aachen, Computergraphik & Multimedia
Lehrstuhl für Bildverarbeitung, RWTH Aachen
Lehrstuhl für Informatik 12, RWTH Aachen, Hochleistungsrechnen
Lehrstuhl für Informatik 15, TU München, Computer Graphics & Visualization

in cooperation with (pending)

Gesellschaft für Informatik GI
European Association for Computer Graphics


Setting:

Vision, Modeling, and Visualization are rapidly converging disciplines.
For a long time the three fields were separate, each with their own
methodology, terminology, and formalism. However, for many applications
they have to work hand in hand based on computer models and data
structures that can be used across all disciplines. Prominent examples
are medical sciences, where novel and improved image sensors require new
integrated vision, modeling, and visualization techniques. Also, due to
the proliferation of digital photography and high-speed graphics
accelerators, image-based modeling and the corresponding vision and
visualization techniques have become a research topic of highest relevance.

The Workshop "Vision, Modeling, and Visualization 2006" is the eleventh
in a series of annual meetings organized by different research centers
and groups focussing on this field. After highly successful meetings in
Erlangen, Alpbach, Saarbrücken, Stuttgart, Munich, and Stanford, this
year's event will take place at the RWTH Aachen University. The program
will consist of contributed papers and poster presentations, as well as
invited talks by internationally renowned speakers.

Topics:

Paper submissions are invited to the following (non-exclusive) list of
topics:

* 3-D imaging
* Scene modeling and integration
* Object localization and recognition
* Multi-view image processing and coding
* Volume data processing and visualization
* Realistic rendering
* Multi-sensor fusion and 3-D registration
* Animation
* Medical image processing
* Virtual reality
* Medical visualization
* Structure from motion and stereo
* Geometry-based and image-based rendering
* Geometric Modeling
* Geometry Processing
* Applications (medicine, robotics, fluid mechanics, manufacturing, 
automated inspection, virtual reality, communication, etc.)
