Ninth IMDSP Workshop
March 3-6, 1996. Radisson Hotel
Belize City, Belize

Program Chair:
Edward J. Delp; Purdue University


The  Image  and  Multidimensional  Signal  Processing   Technical
Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society has established a
tradition of biennial workshops  that  have  been  intellectually
stimulating  and  held in interesting places. The Ninth Workshop,
to be held in cooperation with the Society  for  Imaging  Science
and  Technology  continues  this  tradition.  It  will be held in
Belize which is located on the Caribbean Sea  directly  south  of
the  Yucatan  Peninsula  and east of Guatemala, just two hours by
plane from Miami. Belize has a subtropical climate. The  workshop
will  take place in the dry season when temperatures will average
22C. There are beautiful Mayan ruins in Belize  and  the  longest
barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. The workshop will be held
in Belize City at the Radisson Hotel.

The theme of the workshop is ``Model-Based  Methods  in  Imaging:

This was partly motivated by the NSF-sponsored workshop on Future
Directions in Signal Processing that was held in Keystone, Colorado
in  November  1991. At this workshop,the task group in the IMDSP
area identified a need  for more emphasis on model-based methods,
including models for signal content and models for the human
viewer. In addition, it was felt that  there was a need for more
work on image quality metrics. It is the intention of this workshop
to address these topics:

Physics-based models
Multiresolution models
Models for the human visual system
Color models
Image and video quality metrics
Image and video compression
Image and video analysis
Image rendering for printing and display Color imaging
Radar imaging
Medical imaging

Participation in the workshop will  be  both  by  invitation  and
application.  Prospective  attendees will submit a 2-page summary
in final form. If the paper is accepted the summary  will  appear
in  the  workshop  digest as submitted. Authors should obtain the
author's  kit  via   anonymous   ftp   to   skynet.ecn.purdue.edu
(128.46.154.48)  in the directory /pub/dist/imdsp96. The author's
kit provides complete  information  relative  to  the  submission
process.  It  is  the  intention  of the Committee to conduct all
communication with authors electronically.  Questions  should  be
directed  to imdsp96@ecn.purdue.edu. The General Co-Chairs can be
