Acivs 2007 Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems August 28-31, 2007 Delft University the Netherlands http://acivs.org/acivs2007/ Lecture Notes in Computer Science -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: Eurasip, IEEE Benelux Signal Processing Chapter, DSP Valley, Philips, Barco. Acivs 2007 is a conference focusing on techniques for building adaptive, intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems. Acivs 2007 will consist of four days of lecture sessions, both regular (25 mns) and invited presentations, and poster sessions. The proceedings of Acivs 2007 will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Acivs 2007 will also feature a conference dinner, and other social activities. Details of the social activities, which will include a reception and a touristic activity, will be announced soon. The conference fee (390 EUR for IEEE-members, Eurasip-members and students and 490 EUR for other participants) includes the social program (conference dinner, opening reception, and cultural activities), coffee breaks, daily lunches and a hard-copy of the LNCS conference proceedings. Invited speakers Acivs 2007 will feature a number of invited invited talks. The details will be announced later. Topics include (but are not limited to) * Vision systems, including multi-camera systems * Image and Video Processing (linear/non-linear filtering and enhancement, restoration, segmentation, wavelets and multiresolution, Markovian techniques, color processing, modeling, analysis, interpolation and spatial transforms, motion, fractals and multifractals, structure from motion) * Pattern Analysis (shape analysis, data and image fusion, pattern matching, neural nets, learning, grammatical techniques) and Content-Based Image Retrieval * Remote Sensing (techniques for filtering, enhancing, compressing, displaying and analyzing optical, infrared, radar, multi- and hyperspectral airborne and spaceborne images) * Still Image and Video Coding and Transmission (still image/video coding, model-based coding, synthetic/natural hybrid coding, quality metrics, image watermarking, image and video databases, image search and sorting, video indexing, multimedia applications) * System Architecture and Performance Evaluation (implementation of algorithms, benchmarking, evaluation criteria, algorithmic evaluation) Both classical research papers and application papers are welcome. Venue The conference will take place in the Aula conference center, Delft, Univeristy, the Netherlands on August 28-31, 2007. The venue can be easily reached from Rotterdam Airport or by train from Amsterdam Schiphol airport. Paper submission and review process Prospective authors should prepare a full paper and submit it electronically. The paper should consist of 8-12 pages in A4 format and should conform to the style guidelines outlined on the Acivs 2007 website. Papers should be submitted in LaTeX format or MsWord format. However the use of MSWord is strongly discouraged since MSWord documents, especially those containing equations, often suffer from poor typesetting. LaTeX style sheets, MSWord templates and more detailed information on the submission process can be found on the Acivs 2007 website (http://acivs.org/acivs2007/). It is absolutely essential that submitted papers are based on the provided templates. Accepted papers which do not satisfy the requirements or which cannot be processed without changes will be returned to the authors and may not be published. 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. Paper submission implies that one of the authors will present the paper if it is accepted. Conference proceedings The proceedings of Acivs 2007 will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. LNCS is published, in parallel to the printed books, in full-text electronic form via Springer Verlags internet platform (http://www.springerlink.com).
