IEEE 2008 Workshop on Application of Computer Vision WACV 2008

WACV 2008 Final Program

Computer Vision has become increasingly important in real world systems for commercial, industrial and military applications. Computer Vision related technologies have started migrating from academic institutions to industrial laboratories, and onward into deployable systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring together an international cadre of academic, industrial, and government researchers, and companies applying vision techniques.

Topics include (but are not limited to )

Industrial Inspection/Manufacturing
Face Detection
Face Recognition
Fingerprints
Biometrics Fusion
Road/Traffic Analysis
3D modeling
Image-based Rendering for Entertainment
Motion/Stereo processing/segmentation
Real-time Tracking
Graphics Recognition/Engineering Drawings
Classification/Recognition
Human Motion Analysis/Capture
Document Analysis

Security/Surveillance
Gesture/Hand Recognition
Medical Analysis
Augmented Reality
Performance Evaluation (of any vision application)
Human-Computer Interaction
Scientific Imaging Applications
Visual Navigation and Station Keeping
Robotics Applications
Image/Video Indexing and Retrieval
Vision for Entertainment
Perception Aids for the Handicapped
Underwater Industrial Applications

The workshop will have 6 page papers in the proceedings which may be presented as either oral and poster presentations (extra pages will be $100 a page). The workshop, in conjunction with IEEE MOTION and IEEE VISN, will also have a demonstration session. The WACV proceedings will be published by IEEE and will be indexed in IEEExplore.

In an effort to get more applications companies involved, this year's WACV will have a "Development" abstract track where companies can submit a 1-2 page abstract of their vision related product or services. These will be reviewed by a subset of the program committee, but not held to the same scientific/research standards of a full paper. Rather they are meant to help introduce the community to the product or application space. Abstracts maybe selected for either oral or poster presentation. Abstracts (from either demos or products) will be included in the CD-Rom proceedings, but not in the printed proceeding (or indexed).

Meeting Dates

WACV: Jan 7-9 2008

And there are no exception to the dates as we have cut all the timing as close as possible. (E.g. For comparison CVPRs deadline is 8 months before event, our is only 6 months)

Expanding the format from past WACV workshops, in an effort to get more applications companies involved, this year WACV will have a "Development" abstract track, were companies can submit a 1-2 page abstract of their vision related product or services. These will be reviewed by a subset of the program committee, but not held to the same scientific/research standards of a full paper. Rather they are meant to help introduce the community to the product or application space. Abstracts maybe selected for either oral or poster presentation. Abstracts (from either demos or products) will be included in the CD-Rom proceedings, but not in the printed proceeding (or indexed).

**NOTE: While we have a diverse PC the amount of reviewing would be too large without added reviewers. To help ensure a broad pool, we are instituting a true peer reviewing policy. For each paper submitted, the authors of that paper will also considers reviewers and will be responsible for providing reviews of 3 papers (per paper submitted). If there are multiple authors they can spread out that reviewing, but for every paper submitted is responsible for 3 reviews, or that paper will automatically be rejected. (This policy does not apply to the abstracts, just full papers. But we encourage abstract submitters to sign-up as reviewers as well).
