SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED!!!
CIR-2000: The Challenge of Image Retrieval
Third UK Conference on Image Retrieval
May 4-5 2000, Brighton, United Kingdom
Like everyone else, it seems, we've had a number of requests
to extend our paper submission deadline. In response to these
requests, our deadline for accepting papers has now been put
back to MONDAY 31 JANUARY 2000.
As in previous years, CIR aims to attract high-quality papers
covering all aspects of image and video retrieval from both
the UK and overseas. The main themes of CIR-2000 are video
asset management, image indexing and metadata, and content-
based image retrieval. Our distinguished list of invited
speakers includes:
Professor Howard Besser, University of California at Los Angeles
Dr Ruud Bolle, IBM Thomas Watson Research Center
Dr Richard Nicol, Head of Research, BT Adastral Park
Professor Mark Overmars, University of Utrecht
Original papers are solicited for the conference
describing research or innovation in any area related to
image or video storage and retrieval. Accounts of work
in progress are acceptable provided at least some
results are reported. Possible topics include, but are
not limited to:
* Studies of information-seeking behaviour among
image users
* HCI issues in image retrieval
* Evaluation of image retrieval systems
* Novel image data management systems and
applications
* Query models, paradigms and languages for image
retrieval
* Content-based indexing, search and retrieval of
images
* Feature extraction and representation
* Visual perception and image retrieval
* Image search and browsing on the Web
* Semantic retrieval of images and video
* Neural network techniques for image classification
and retrieval
* Database architectures for image retrieval
* Image data management for multimedia systems
The programme committee are aiming to ensure a balance
between technical and user orientation in the submitted
papers presented at the conference. To achieve this, we
particularly welcome submissions which deal with user
issues.
