5th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems (ICVS2007)
Special Theme: Vision Systems in the Real World
Deadline for Paper Submission: October 31st, 2006
21st-24th March 2007, Bielefeld, Germany

ICVS2007 is co-sponsored / endorsed by the IAPR (International
Association for Pattern Recognition - under approval) and the
GI (German Informatics Society) - Computer Vision Section.

-- About The Conference --
The 5th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems aims
to gather researchers and developers from academic fields and
industries worldwide to share their research results covering all
aspects of intelligent vision systems. The programme committee
cordially invites you to attend ICVS 2007 and submit papers on
all aspects of intelligent vision systems including, but not limited
to:
* Computer vision from a system perspective: applications,
architecture, integration and control
* Cognitive vision techniques for scene analysis, semantic
interpretation and learning
* Methods and metrics for performance evaluation
A major theme will be vision systems that interact with or respond to
their environment in a dynamic and adaptive manner, with an emphasis put
on integrated systems that are robust enough to be deployed in largely
unconstrained environments.
Papers will be reviewed double-blinded by an international program
committee according to the following criteria:
* Pertinence: Does the paper describe methods or theories
concerning the theme of the conference?
* Scientific quality: Does the paper clearly identify a scientific
problem, document the state of the art and demonstrate an
original technique or method that resolves the problem?
* Impact: Is the method/model likely to be adopted for the design
or evaluation of computer vision systems?
* Generality: Can the method/model be used for a variety of
problems? Is it non-specific?
* Innovation: Does the method/model demonstrate an improvement in
the current state of the art?
We also encourage young researchers to present vision systems and
evaluation results.
The conference programme will include invited talks as well as oral and
poster presentations of selected papers. It will be enriched by official
workshops and rather informal BoF sessions to allow practitioners and
scientists to discuss focussed topics in an atmosphere that fosters the
exchange of ideas.
Besides the scientific goals of the conference, the organisers strive to
provide an accessible meeting by keeping expenses for participants
affordable, particularly for young researchers.

-- Special Issue --
The best papers of the conference will be selected for a reviewed
special issue of a renowned scientific journal. Editors: M. Thonnat et
al. More specific information will be provided soon. Please watch our
website or the RSS feed for updates.
-- Workshops --
The ICVS2007 conference committee cordially invites members from all
areas of the computer vision systems community to submit proposals for
workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference. Workshops
should facilitate a lively discussion about emerging topics or specific
aspects of broader topics in the area of computer vision systems. If you
have any questions regarding workshop topics or organisation, please
feel free to contact the workshop chair, Bärbel Mertsching, via email at
workshops@icvs2007.org or have a look at the conference website for
further information.
-- Exhibitions --
There will be the opportunity to present vision systems next to the
conference hall. Interested industries and laboratories please contact
Christian Wöhler (exhibition@icvs2007.org). Deadline for exhibition
proposals is November 01st, 2006.
-- Instructions for Authors --
Prior to the submission deadline, connect to the conference web server
to enter the title, author names and addresses, abstract and keyword.
The paper will then be assigned a paper identification number. Full
papers must be submitted electronically in Springer LNCS style for
review in the conference format.
