Summary
-------
In the last a number of years, we have witnessed the rapid development
of several key technological areas, such as the Internet and mobile devices,
which make large scale use of visual information. There is a growing need to
efficiently capture, transform, analyze, manipulate, synthesize, visualize,
store, and retrieve image and video data in a wide spectrum of applications.
Future information systems in commercial and scientific applications will have
a high visual content, and it is necessary to address various aspects of visual
information processing.
The workshop will provide a forum for researchers, including postgraduate
students, to discuss their recent work and exchange research ideas.
-------
Topics
-------
* Image Processing: gathering, editing, coding, transformation,
restoration, filtering, enhancement.
* Medical Imaging: feature extraction, segmentation, reconstruction,
image analysis, tele-medicine.
* Multimedia: image and video indexing and retrieval, tele-conferencing,
compression, interactive video, CAD, authoring, sematic annotation,
applications.
* Visualisation: visual representation, modelling and reconstruction,
scientific visualization, data visualisation, visualization of data
mining results and the knowledge discovery process, interactive
exploration, virtual reality.
* Computer Graphics: computational geometry, surface rendering, volume
rendering, modelling, animation, GUI and HCI.
* Pattern Recognition: statistical and syntactic pattern recognition,
neural networks, learning algorithms, handwriting recognition,
document analysis, DNA data analysis and classification.
* Computer Vision: real-time imaging, robot vision, object tracking,
automatic inspection, remote control and sensing.
