News. Authors who wish to submit a paper for Acivs 2004 should do so before or on May 10th, 2004. Since this is already an extension on the original deadline, no further deadline extensions will be possible.
Acivs 2004 is a conference focusing on techniques for building adaptive, intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems. Acivs 2004 will consist of four days of lecture sessions, both regular (25 mns) and invited presentations, and poster sessions.
Acivs 2004 will also feature a conference dinner, and other social activities. Last year, these consisted of a "culinary visit" and a boat trip in the historic city center of Ghent. Details of the social activities will be announced soon. They will include a conference dinner, a reception and one or two touristic activities.
The conference fee includes the social program (conference dinner, coffee breaks, snacks and cultural activities) and a copy of the CDROM conference proceedings. Students and IEEE members can register at a reduced fee.
Invited speakers
Acivs 2004 will feature a number of invited speakers. One of the invited speakers will be Ingrid Daubechies (Princeton University, Princeton, USA) and Donald Geman (Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, Johns Hopkins University and CMLA, Ecole Normale Superieure, Cachan, France).
Special Sessions
Acivs 2004 will feature two special sessions on- Understanding high resolution satellite images, organised by Mihai Datcu (German Aerospace Center DLR, Wessling, Germany)
- Non-linear multiresolution analyses for image processing and coding, organised by Béatrice Pesquet-Popescu (ENST, Paris, France), Henk Heijmans (CWI, Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and Gemma Piella (CWI, Amsterdam, the Netherlands).
Other topics include (but are not limited to)
- 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 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, vision systems, benchmarking, evaluation criteria, algorithmic evaluation)
Venue
The conference will take place in the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium on Aug. 31-Sept. 3, 2004. The venue 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 and should conform to the style guidelines outlined on the Acivs 2004
website. LaTeX style sheets, MSWord templates and more detailed information
on the submission process can be found on the Acivs 2004 website (http://acivs.org/acivs2004/).
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
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.
