Joint seminar by Institute for Image Data Research, University of
Northumbria and Manchester Visualization Centre, University of Manchester
Seminar on Content-Based Image Retrieval
* Friday 06th July, 2001, at University of Northumbria, Newcastle upon Tyne
10.00 - 16.30 hrs
* Friday 20th July, 2001, at University of Manchester, Manchester 10.00 -
16.30 hrs
As part of a JISC funded project in Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR),
IIDR and MVC are pleased to announce that they will be running two free
one-day seminars on CBIR, in order to disseminate information about the
technology to the UK HE/FE communities.
The seminars are being arranged two weeks apart, to allow as many people as
possible the opportunity to attend at whichever venue and date suits them.
The seminars will bring together key representatives from the field to
discuss how leading edge technology can be used to extend digital image
collections as an information resource.
These seminars will be of interest to individuals and organisations who have
existing digital image collections or are in the process of creating a
digital image collection and who may want to consider extending the search
capabilities of their database with content-based image retrieval matching
features.
The general programme is given below and the specific programme for each
seminar date is available at http://www.cbir.org.uk/seminar/. Both seminars
begin with an overview of content-based image retrieval followed by two
presentations on the subject of content-based image retrieval software and
its implementation. After lunch attendees will have the opportunity to play
with several demonstration systems. Guest speakers have been invited for
the afternoon session to talk on the theme of content-based image retrieval
from their perspective as a user of image data, a developer and a researcher
of the technology. Guest speakers will differ at each venue. The seminars
will close with a questions & answers session.
The conference is FREE to delegates from Higher and Further Education.
The number of places is strictly limited and early booking is advised.
To register for either seminar, complete the online booking form at
http://www.cbir.org.uk/seminar/register.html
Please circulate this message to interested colleagues.
