CALL FOR PAPERS

           Special Track on OBJECT RECOGNITION
       INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON VISUAL COMPUTING 2007 (ISVC07)
                  http://www.isvc.net

Rationale 
--------- 
Recognizing objects is one of the most useful tasks in vision. While
this ability comes naturally to humans, due to the significant
variations exhibited by real-world images, this task continues to be
particularly challenging for computer vision. Not even the most
advanced systems can handle the full range of partial occlusions,
viewpoint and illumination changes, cluttered backgrounds, and
intra-category appearance. In this special track, we are soliciting
papers that extend existing methodologies or introduce new techniques
for object recognition.  Topics Topics of interest include all aspects
of object recognition including, but not limited to, the following
areas: Object recognition using local features, Graphical models for
object, recognition, Hierarchical object representations, Statistical
learning methods for object recognition, Semantic knowledge
integration, Biologically motivated approaches, Object segmentation.

Submission/Proceedings

This is an open call-for-papers. Only original, high-quality papers,
in-line with the ISVC'07 standard guidelines

ISVC'07. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings
which will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series.
