For registration information, please consult the ECCV Web site: http://svr-www.eng.cam.ac.uk/Research/Vision/ECCV/ECCV.html and look up the Early Registration info. (Note: early registration is up to Feb. 29. Registration fee goes up afterwards.) BACKGROUND: In December of 1994, a workshop co-sponsored by NSF and ARPA was held in New York City. Its goal was to evaluate current approaches to object representation and to identify important issues and promising research directions. The 1996 Cambridge workshop is a follow-up to the 1994 New York workshop. Its goals are: o to present a state of the art of the research on object representation for object recognition; o to assess the progress achieved in key areas identified during the first workshop, e.g., part decomposition and quasi invariants; and, o to explore the representational issues involved in applications that go beyond traditional object recognition, e.g., image databases, manufacturing, medical imaging, or virtual reality. FORMAT: The workshop will consist of three half-day sessions, each of them including an invited lecture, presentations of accepted papers, and a panel. The invited speakers are: o Takeo Kanade, Carnegie-Mellon University o Jan Koenderink, Utrecht University o Ram Nevatia, University of Southern California To facilitate discussions, the attendance to the workshop will be limited to a hundred participants. The proceedings (including the contributed papers and a summary of the panel discussions) will be published after the workshop by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The workshop will be held just prior to ECCV'96 at the University of Cambridge, and accommodation will be at Robinson College.
