*** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ***
=46ollowing the highly successful BMCV 2000, this is the final call for
papers for the 2nd BIOLOGICALLY MOTIVATED COMPUTER VISION WORKSHOP
(BMCV 2002) which will be held in Tuebingen, Germany (November,
22nd-24th 2002).

The aim of this workshop is to show how understanding and modeling human
and animal vision can lead to - and indeed is essential for - successful
computer vision systems. The workshop will bring together researchers
from computer vision and related areas to discuss this increasingly
prominent topic of biologically motivated systems.

In this context we would also like to encourage contributions from
neighboring research fields such as neuroscience, visual psychophysics
and robotics.

Contributions are sought for topics including, but not limited to:

Active vision
Applications
Artificial vision
Autonomous agents
Binocular vision
Biological motion
Biological vision
Brain-Computer interfaces
Categorization
Color vision
=46ace detection/recognition
=46oveation
Learning Models for biological vision
Navigation and map building
Neural system models
Object recognition
Perceptual organization
Retinal image processing
Robot vision
Scene recognition
Selective attention
Sensor fusion and cue integration
Space-variant image processing
Spatial vision
Stereo analysis
Target detection and tracking
Visually-guided motor control
