Acivs 2006 is a conference focusing on techniques for building adaptive, intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems. Acivs 2006 will consist of four days of lecture sessions, both regular (25 mns) and invited presentations, and poster sessions. The proceedings of Acivs 2006 will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
Acivs 2006 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 (350 € for IEEE-members, Eurasip-members and students and 430 € for other participants) includes the social program (conference dinner, coffee breaks, snacks and cultural activities) and a hard-copy of the LNCS conference proceedings. Students, IEEE and Eurasip members can register at a reduced fee.
Invited speakers
Acivs 2006 will feature the following invited talks:
- Kathrin Berkner (Ricoh Innovations). Challenges and Opportunities for Processing of Digital Document Images - From File Formats to Device and Content Dependent Visual Representations.
- Nikos Paragios (Ecole Centrale de Paris). Implicit Representations towards Content Extraction and Statistical Interpretation of Medical Images.
- Dimitri Van de Ville (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne). Polyharmonic B-spline Wavelets: From Isotropy to Directionality.
Topics include (but are not limited to)
- Vision 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 Building G, Middelheim campus, University of Antwerp, Belgium on Sept. 18-21, 2006. The venue can be easily reached from Antwerp Airport - Deurne or 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 8-12
pages in A4 format and should conform to the style guidelines outlined on the Acivs 2006
website. LaTeX style sheets, MSWord templates and
more detailed information
on the submission process can be found on the Acivs 2006 website (http://acivs.org/acivs2006/).
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 2006 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).
