IEEE Workshop on Content-Based Access of Image and Video Libraries
in conjunction with CVPR '98

http://www.ctr.columbia.edu/cvpr98/workshop.html

June 21, 1998
Santa Barbara, California

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

General Chairs Call for Papers: The objective of this workshop is to
Chung-Sheng Li, promote information exchange and technical
IBM T.J. Watson interaction among researchers and developers working
Research Center on algorithms or systems for accessing visual content
in large image/video libraries.
Avi Kak,
Purdue Computer Vision and pattern recognition play an
University important role in solving many critical problems in
this area, in conjunction with other disciplines
Technical (e.g., image processing, database, and information
Program Chair retrieval). This workshop will focus on several
Shih-Fu Chang, important technical challenges, including
Columbia representation, analysis, indexing, retrieval,
University classification, and summarization of image/video
content.
