Papers are solicited in the areas of image processing, pattern recognition, compression and algorithm assessment. ACIVS 2002 will consist of three days of lecture sessions, both regular (30 mns) and invited presentations. The conference fee (approx. 300 EUR, i.e., currently about 260-270 US$) includes a social program (conference dinner, coffee breaks, snacks and cultural activities). Students and IEEE members can register at a reduced fee. Topics include (but are not limited to) * Image Processing (image restoration and filtering, segmentation, textures, model-based algorithms, multiresolution & scale-space theory, fractals and multifractals); * Pattern Recognition (statistical and structural pattern recognition, robust matching and parsing algorithms, automata and grammars, learning, recurrent networks); * Image and Video Compression, Watermarking; * Image Quality and Algorithmic Performance Evaluation (empirical evaluation techniques; image & video quality metrics and methods). Venue The Symposium will take place in the faculty of Applied Sciences, Jozef-Plateaustraat 22, 9000 Ghent, Belgium on September 9-11, 2002. The venue is located within walking distance of the historic center of the beautiful medieval city of Ghent, which can be easily reached by train from Brussels main airport. Paper submission and review process Prospective authors should prepare a full paper and submit it electronically. The paper should consist of 4-8 pages in A4 format with 11 pt font and should conform to the style guidelines outlined on the ACIVS 2002 website. LaTeX style sheets, MSWord templates and more detailed information on the submission process can be found on the ACIVS 2002 website (http://telin.rug.ac.be/acivs2002/). All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the Program Committee; additional reviewers will be consulted if needed. The papers should provide sufficient background information and should clearly indicate the original contribution. They should state and discuss the main results and provide adequate references. Confererence proceedings Accepted papers will be published in the CD-Rom conference proceedings in pdf-format. Authors may optionally include a directory containing additional multimedia content, e.g., sound files, demo's or video sequences, subject to space availability. Authors wishing to take advantage of this possibility should contact the Steering Committee for additional instructions. Expression of interest Anyone who intends to participate or submit a paper is invited to fill and send a reply card available at the ACIVS 2002 website (http://telin.rug.ac.be/acivs2002/).
