CALL FOR PAPERS

WORKSHOP ON

Imaging New Modalities

IN CONJUNCTION WITH

German Conference on Pattern Recognition, GCPR
September 03th, 2013, Saarbrücken, Germany

SCOPE

In recent years, a large set of different new imaging sensors technologies have been introduced, either on commercial or consumer level. One of the most prominent examples are range sensors like Time-of-Flight cameras or the Kinect sensor, but also light field cameras and multispectral sensors have drawn a lot of attention.

This workshop aims at the challenges related to processing the imagery data delivered by these new camera-like sensors. Many processing approaches developed in Computer Vision have been applied to this kind of sensor data. However, in many the algorthmic principles had to be adopted significantly (e.g. due to various different sensor characteristics) or completely new approaches have been developed.

This workshop will bring together researchers to exchange their ideas for and insight into processing challenges and novel processing paradigms associated with these sensor data types.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

New imagery sensing principles for
- active or passive 3D range imaging
- multispectral imaging
- THz sensor imaging systems
- lightfield cameras
Sensor simulation
Multimodal sensor fusion
Processing and analysis for dynamic new imaging systems
- calibration techniques
- sensor based image synthesis
- object recognition and tracking
- data analysis
Novel applications using interactive imagery sensors, e.g. in areas like
- autonomous robotics
- medicine and health care
- industrial automation
- surveillance
- human-machine interaction
- automotive

Novel results of theoretical and practical significance based on interactive 3D vision will be considered.

All accepted contributions will be published in a volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
