Modeling of scene and object geometry, photometry, and statistical properties are essential in all three areas, and many researchers today believe that we will ultimately have one unified field. The declining cost of processors, memory, and sensors continues to expand the scope of viable applications. New system solutions are in reach by combining state-of-the-art techniques from research areas that were traditionally separate. The thorough scientific treatment of the underlying principles, for example the limitations of sensors, the reliability, accuracy, complexity and storage requirements of image processing and rendering algorithms, similarities and differences between digital image processing and digital geometry processing, or the fidelity of interactive visualization schemes, is the prerequisite for such advanced systems. This workshop is the eighth in a series of annual meetings organized by the DFG Graduate Research Center SFB 603 "Model-based Analysis and Visualization of Complex Scenes and Sensor Data" and the DFG Graduate College GRK-244 "3-D Image Analysis and Synthesis" at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and cooperating Institutes. After three meetings in Erlangen, one in Alpbach, Austria, one at the Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik in Saarbrücken, one at the University of Stuttgart, and the previous one again in Erlangen, the 2003 workshop will take place in Munich. The workshop is organized by DFG Graduate Research Center SFB 603 and the DFG Graduate College GRK-244 and its involved intitutes. It is supported this year by the University of Munich, which will host the meeting at its facilities. The program will consist of invited talks by internationally renowned speakers, as well as contributed paper and poster presentations. Topics: - 3-D imaging - Object localization and recognition - Volume data processing and visualization - Multi-sensor fusion and 3-D registration - 3-D structure from motion and stereo - Geometry-based and image-based rendering - Geometric modeling - Scene modeling and integration - Multi-view image processing and coding - Virtual Reality - Applications (medicine, robotics, fluid mechanics, manufacturing, automated inspection, virtual reality, communication, etc.) Invited Speakers: So far, the following invited speakers have accepted to give a talk at the VMV 2003: - Peter Schröder, California Institute of Technology, USA - Thomas Vetter, University of Freiburg, Germany Paper Submission: Prospective attendees are invited to submit a paper up to 8 pages in final form. All submissions will be reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop digest as submitted. Authors should obtain the author's kit (including LaTeX style-file) from http://vmv.in.tum.de The author's kit provides complete information concerning the submission process. It is the intention of the Committee to conduct all communication with authors electronically. Questions should be directed to: kipfer@in.tum.de.
