ICCV 09 Workshop 2009 - The 2009 IEEE International Workshop on 3-D Digital Imaging and Modeling (3DIM2009)

The 2009 IEEE International Workshop on 3-D Digital Imaging and Modeling (3DIM2009)
The field of 3D imaging, modeling and visualization has undergone a rapid growth over the last decade. While some research issues have received significant attention and matured into stable solutions, new problems and goals are emerging as the focus of the 3-D research community. Improved methods for the acquisition of 3-D information by optical means are driven by new algorithmic approaches in computer vision and image processing. Advanced methods for the processing and transformation of geometric information open new types of applications. As part of ICCV 2009, the 3DIM 2009 Workshop will bring together researchers interested in all aspects of the acquisition, processing and modeling of 3-D information and their applications.

The 3DIM 2009 Committee invites you to submit high quality original full papers by May 01, 2009.

The papers will be reviewed by an international Program Committee. Accepted papers will be presented in single-track oral sessions as well as a poster session (all papers are allocated the same number of pages). The Workshop Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press as part of the ICCV 2009 Proceedings DVD, and archived in their Digital Library. Full details on the paper format, electronic submission procedure and conference venue are available on the 3DIM 2009 Workshop web site. Double submissions with ICCV 2009 are accepted, but only in accordance with the policies of the conference.

Papers are sought in the areas of:

Smart/enhanced/hand-held 3-D sensors
3-D sensor calibration methods and performance assessment
Automated view planning for surface acquisition
3-D from multiple images and video
Real-time 3-D systems
3-D video acquisition and analysis
Shape-from-X techniques
Geometric signal processing
3-D image registration & integration
Multi-resolution 3-D representations
Shape and appearance modeling
Deformable models
Object recognition and classification
Surface/solid modeling from images
Reverse engineering
Dimensional inspection & metrology
Object/human/environment models
Manufacturing/medical applications
Cultural/archaeological applications

as well as related areas. In order to maintain the workshop's focus, the research described in the paper should comprise: innovative techniques producing 3-D information from active or passive optical devices; techniques for the early processing of 3-D information, possibly along with other sensing modalities; transformation of the 3-D information into higher level models; applications or assessment of such techniques. In case of doubt concerning the relevance of a paper¡¯s topic, prospective authors may contact in advance the program chairs.
