Special Session
on MOTION
TRACKING
AND OBJECT RECOGNITION
(http://www-staff.socs.uts.edu.au/~sean/HTML.dir/MTOR03.html)
Call for Papers
Motion tracking with model based object recognition is one of the problems in computer vision that many researchers are struggling to solve. Its goal is to monitor activity of an object, to track and retain information about an object, and/or detect and identify a moving object in a site over extended periods of time. It has numerous applications from intelligence to traffic control to remote surveillance to human-computer interaction. This session aims to bring together experts from motion tracking as well as from object recognition community. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Real-time image processing
Data Communication
QoS
Medical Image Registration
Visualization and Image
Interpolation
Information Retrieval and
Feature Extraction
Motion Analysis
Pattern Recognition
Image capture
Image transmission
Motion tracking and/or
object recognition on a cluster
Video surveillance
Video data mining
Motion segmentation
Motion detection
Parallel processing

by the due date. E-mail and Fax submissions are also acceptable. The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, and Fax number for each author. The first page should also include the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 keywords.
Evaluation Process:
Papers submitted to the session will be evaluated for originality, significance,clarity, and soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the topical area. All accepted papers are expected to be presented at the conference session and published in the conference proceedings. The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one person.
Publication:
The conference proceedings will be published by CSREA Press (ISBN) in hardcopy. It will be a multivolume set. The proceedings will be available at the conference. Some accepted papers will also be considered for journal publication (soon after the conference). (In addition to the hardcopy, it is also planned to publish the papers on a CD.) All conference proceedings published by CSREA Press are considered for inclusion in major database indexes that are designed to provide easy access to the current literature of the sciences (database examples: ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE INSPEC, ...).
Location of conference:
The conference will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). The Monte Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms. The hotel is minutes from the Las Vegas airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and from the airport. This hotel has many vacation and recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, casino, spa, pools & kiddie pools, sunning decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...), arcade virtual reality game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a number of restaurants, shopping area, bars, ... Many of these attractions are open 24 hours a day and most are suitable for families and children. The negotiated hotel's room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable (79USD + tax) per night (no extra charge for double occupancy) for the duration of the conference. The hotel is within walking distance from most other Las Vegas attractions (major shopping areas, recreational destinations, fine dining and night clubs, free street shows, ...). For the benefit of our international colleagues: the state of Nevada neighbors with the states of California, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, and Arizona. Las Vegas is only a few driving hours away from other major cities, including: Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Grand Canyon, ...
