The 2nd BIOLOGICALLY MOTIVATED COMPUTER VISION WORKSHOP (BMCV 2002) will
be held in Tuebingen, Germany (November, 22nd-24th 2002).

Of 97 submissions, we accepted 22 papers for oral presentation and 37
for poster presentation. The selected high quality papers span the whole
range of vision from neuronal models of vision to psychophysical
investigations of human recognition performance. Correspondingly, the
workshop is divided into seven sessions, proceeding from topics
concerning low-level early vision to high-level cognitive aspects of
vision.
