1. Important dates / schedule

2. Call for participation

Vision, Modeling and Visualization are complementary disciplines that are rapidly converging. Modeling of scene and object geometry, photometry, and statistical properties are essential in all three areas, and many researchers today believe that we will ultimately have one unified field. The declining cost of processors, memory, and sensors continues to expand the scope of viable applications. New system solutions are in reach by combining state-of-the-art techniques from research areas that were traditionally separate. The thorough scientific treatment of the underlying principles, for example the limitations of sensors, the reliability, accuracy, complexity and storage requirements of image processing and rendering algorithms, similarities and differences between digital image processing and digital geometry processing, or the fidelity of interactive visualization schemes, is the prerequisite for such advanced systems.

This workshop is the sixth in a series of annual meetings organized by the DFG Graduate College "3-D Image Analysis and Synthesis" and the DFG Graduate Research Center SFB 603 "Model-based Analysis and Visualization of Complex Scenes and Sensor Data" at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. After three meetings in Erlangen, one in Alpbach, Austria, and the previous one at the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Informatik in Saarbruecken, the 2001 workshop will take place in Stuttgart. It is organized by the VIS-group of the Computer Science Department and will be supported by the DFG Graduate Research Center SFB 382 "Computational Physics", by the Informatik Forum Stuttgart INFOS, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO, which will host the meeting at its facilities.
