DGCI'2002 is the 10th in the series of international conferences on
Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery. The aim is to gather
researchers in discrete geometry and topology, discrete models, with
applications in image analysis and image synthesis.

Discrete geometry plays an expanding role in the fields of shape
modelling, image synthesis, and image analysis. It deals with
topological and geometric definitions of digitized objects or
digitized images and provides both a theoretical and computational
framework for computer imaging.

This edition of DGCI follows the successful 2000 edition held in
Uppsala, Sweden. It is organized by the LaBRI (Laboratoire Bordelais
de Recherche en Informatique, Université Bordeaux 1). It will take
place in Bordeaux from April 3 to April 5, 2002.

The conference will offer invited talks, lectures on selected
articles, presentations of selected posters, and demonstrations. The
proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer Verlag, in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.


CONFERENCE TOPICS:

Theory and applications, especially within image analysis and computer
graphics, on:

- Digital & Combinatorial Topology           
- Models for Discrete Geometry       
- Geometric Transforms                       
- Surfaces and Volumes               
- Discrete Shape Representation              
- Combinatorial Image Analysis       
- Morphological Analysis             
- Shape Recovery

Extended versions of selected papers will be published in special
issues of journals, in particular Pattern Recognition Letters.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:

Prospective contributors are invited to submit full papers in English
reporting their original work. The submission procedure is as follows:

   1. Online submission registration
     http://www.labri.fr/dgci2002/authors-info.html 
     Authors should fill the online form to obtain an identification
     number (ID). This ID will be used for the hardcopy submission and
     for later correspondences.

   2. Hardcopy submission. Four copies of each complete paper,
     including cover page (see below), should be sent to the address
     below and ARRIVE no later than September 14, 2001. We encourage
     authors to use the LNCS style even for the submitted paper.

     All pages should show the ID obtained after online submission
     registration and be consecutively numbered. The final length of
     the accepted papers will be 10 pages both for oral and poster
     presentations.

The cover page must contain the following information: 
  - Submission ID
  - Title of the paper 
  - Name(s) and complete address(es) of author(s) 
  - Brief abstract of the paper (100 words) 
  - Key words list (3 to 5 words) 
  - Conference topic(s) (up to 3, see list) 
  - Author's opinion whether the paper is most suitable for oral or
    poster presentation
  - Name and (e-mail and mail) address for correspondence 

These information should match the information provided when filling
the online submission registration form.

Submission address:
