CALL FOR PAPERS NINTH IMAGE AND MULTIDIMENSIONAL SIGNAL PROCESSING WORKSHOP IEEE Signal Processing Society IS&T The Society for Imaging Science and Technology Ninth IMDSP Workshop March 3-6, 1996. Radisson Hotel Belize City, Belize General Co-Chairs: Jan P. Allebach; Purdue University Jelena Kovacevic; AT&T Bell Laboratories 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.
