Dear Hoover,
We would appreciate your posting this notice for the
Conference on HUMAN VISION and ELECTRONIC IMAGING in San Jose in
January 1998. This is the 10th anniversary of our conference,
celebrating the important role of human visual perception in the
design and analysis of electronic imaging systems.
With very best regards,

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 is the 10th anniversary of this conference. 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
- auditory and tactile cues
7) Art, Aesthetics, and Perception

The Conference on HUMAN VISION and ELECTRONIC IMAGING focuses on the
perceptual and cognitive aspects of Electronic Imaging Systems.
We would also like to draw your attention to the following
conferences which focus on related aspects of Electronic Imaging
Systems and which will also be held as part of the EI Symposium:
o Color Imaging: Device-Independent Color, Color Hard Copy
and Graphic Arts III
o Very High Resolution and Quality Imaging II
