The following message was automatically, but wrongly, identified by JISCmail as possible spam, due to being cross-posted to a number of groups. As such it was sent to the MCG listowners for verification, hence this forwarding. Obviously JISCmail is very sensitive about this sort of multiple cross-posting, so members should perhaps be aware of the possible effects before doing so in future. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ian O.

Venters" <[log in to unmask]> ****************************************************** With apologies for cross posting ****************************************************** 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. **************************************************************************** Preliminary Programme Morning Session 10:30-12:35 10:00 - 10:30 Registration & Coffee 10:30 - 10:35 Introduction & Welcome 10:35 - 11:05 Content-Based Image Retrieval Technology, Speakers: Margaret E.
