[visionlist] GCIS2009 - Deadline, keynotes, JIST special section/issue

[Jon Yngve Hardeberg]

We are very happy to announce Eli Peli and Sabine Süsstrunk as keynote
speakers at Gjøvik Color Imaging Symposium 2009
(http://www.colorlab.no/gcis).

Eli, who is Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School, will
talk about "From Contrast to Sensitivity: Vision and image processing,"
while Sabine's keynote will be about "Towards a comprehensive color
image quality metric." Sabine is head of the Images and Visual
Representation Group at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne,
and Director of Division 8 of the International Commission on
Illumination (CIE).

With these and other invited and submitted talks and poster
presentations, we are confident the GCIS2009 program will be most
worthwhile, both on the main theme of "Putting human vision into image
processing and evaluation" and also in other areas of color imaging.

If you plan to attend and have not submitted your work, you can still do
it before May 15th.

To assure that GCIS2009 will not only be a unique meeting place to share
and discuss the latest color imaging research results, but also enable
publication of paper that goes beyond a time-constrained conference
presentation in scope, scientific rigor and level of detail, a special
issue or section of Journal of Imaging Science and Technology (JIST)
will be edited, with selected, peer-reviewed full papers based on
presentations at GCIS2009.

Key dates are
* Submission deadline: May 15th
* Accepted papers notification: May 22nd
* Camera-ready papers submitted: June 1st
* Registration deadline: June 5th
* GCIS09: June 19th
* JIST submission deadline: September 1st
