In the domain of computer vision, this collaboration may take the form of model-based approaches with feedback, as models are essential to process, analyze, understand and generate complex still and animated images in a stable manner. Such models must be comprehensive and their parameters updated according to the difference between the expectation (real image) and the synthesized results. In the computer graphics domain, a special emphasis will be set upon techniques using real images as input for realistic rendering, visualization and special effects. MIRAGE 2003 is going to be an international conference where authors are encouraged to submit papers on theoretical, computational, experimental and industrial aspects of model-based image analysis and synthesis. MIRAGE'2003 will be held in the new conference room of the INRIA Rocquencourt research centre on March 10-12, 2003. Topics include (but are not limited to) * Model-based imaging and analysis * Model-based vision approaches * Model-based indexing and database retrieval * Model-based object tracking in image sequences * Image-based rendering and inverse rendering techniques * New trends in model-based (and intrinsic) video compression techniques * Virtual and augmented reality * Generation of special effects * Model-based evaluation of computer vision techniques, Image quality * Applications: o Human-computer interaction, haptics o Virtual prototyping o Post-production, computer animation o Multimedia applications (including face and gesture recognition), multimedia databases o Military applications o Medical and biomedical applications o Applications of fractals and multifractals Venue The Symposium will take place within the INRIA Rocquencourt research centre which can be easily reached by car, by train or by bus, either by taking public transportations or the free INRIA facilities. The different routes are fully detailed on the INRIA special webpage. Paper submission and review process Prospective authors should prepare a full paper and submit it electronically. The paper should consist of 5-10 pages in A4 format with 11 pt font and should conform to the style guidelines outlined on the MIRAGE 2003 website. LaTeX style sheets, MSWord templates and more detailed information on the submission process can be found on the MIRAGE 2003 website. All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the Program Committee; additional reviewers will be consulted if necessary. 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 will be encouraged to include additional multimedia content like sound files, demo's and video sequences, subject to space availability. Authors wishing to take advantage of this possibility should contact the Steering Committee for additional instructions. Important deadlines November 12, 2002 Full paper submission December 20, 2002 Notification of acceptance February 10, 2003 Camera-ready papers due January 6, 2003 Early registration deadline February 10, 2003 Late registration deadline 10-12 March 2003 MIRAGE 2003 Registration Registration will be available online at the beginning of 2003. However, due to security policy, the number of seats is strictly limited: thus, early registration is strongly recommended.
