Conference Description:
-----------------------
The goal of this conference is to explore the role of human vision,
perception and cognition in the the design, analysis, and
use of computer-based image and data systems.
This conference was initiated nine years ago. Over the years, it has
brought together researchers from a wide variety of disciplines,
from all over the world, for a rich and lively exchange of ideas.
This dialogue is based on the growing understanding that
the human observer is a fundamental key to the advancement of image
systems, and that advances in these systems and applications
stimulate new research into the vision, perception, and cognition
of the human observer.
Papers are welcome on basic and applied research in:
1) Human Vision, Perception and Cognition
- spatial, temporal and color vision
- attentive and pre-attentive vision
- pattern recognition
- hypothesis generation and problem solving
- visual organization and object perception
- language and memory
2) Color Perception and its Applications
- models of color vision
- color constancy
- perceptual approaches to device-independent color
- color coding
- color selection
- color artifacts
3) Psychophysical Evaluation of Image Quality
- perceptual criteria for image compression
- perceptual measures of image distortion
- perceptual effects of spatial, temporal and chromatic
sampling
- visual comparison of compression, sampling, and halftoning
algorithms
4) Vision-Based Algorithms for--
- still image and video compression
- image enhancement, restoration and reconstruction
- image rendering
- digital halftoning and quantization
- display
5) Image Retrieval Based on Visual Image Characteristics
- perceptual cues for navigating through large databases
- development of perceptually-important image metadata
- image semantics, segmentation and representation
6) Interactive Exploration and Visualization of Data
- perceptual issues in visualization and virtual reality
- visual cues for data mining
- metadata for characterizing higher-level features of data
- perceptual scaling and visual organization
- image semantics, segmentation and representation
- incorporating intelligence into interactive systems
