Watson Research Ctr., Yorktown Heights NY. Key Note Address: Dr. David Mumford (A world renowned Mathematician) Dept. of Mathematics and Applied Sciences,Harvard University The theme of this conference is application of geometric methods in low-level vision tasks, specifically for shape and motion estimation. Over the past few years, there has been increased interest in the use of differential geometry and geometric probability methods for various low-level vision problems. Papers describing novel contributions in all aspects of geometric and probabilistic methods in low-level vision are solicited, with particular emphasis on: Differential Geometric Methods for Shape Representation Probability and Geometry (Geometric Probability) Energy-based Methods for Shape Estimation Geometry and Motion Estimation DEADLINES Abstract Due Date: 24th Dec. 1990 Manuscript Due Date: 24 June 1991 Author applications can be obtained from SPIE directly (If you are SPIE member, you should have received one already) by calling them or Faxing a request to the below given numbers.

The main objective of the Conference is to pro- vide a forum to present and discuss recent research advances in the field of Computer Vision. The first ECCV Conference was held in Antibes (France) in April 1990 and was stimulated by the perception that the com- munity of researchers working on computer vision in Europe has grown considerably in the last few years. The ESPRIT initia- tive and the increasing number of research projects carried out jointly by scientists from different European Countries, has helped the creation of a "network" of research centers active in this field. The Conference is open to international participation (in ECCV-90 one third of the published papers came from outside Europe) and all the papers will be evaluated by the Programme Committee on scientific grounds. Topics of interest are: Colour, Texture, Stereo, Motion, Image Features, Stereo Motion Cooperation, Active Vision, Shape, Vision based Control, Hardware Architectures, Applica- tions. STRUCTURE OF THE CONFERENCE The programme will be articulated in three parts: (1) A four day, single track Conference (2) an "ESPRIT day" devoted to the presentation of ESPRIT projects in the field of computer vision (this day will be opened to non-European participants). (3) Workshops on Esprit Basic Research Action on Machine Vision. PAPERS Authors will be asked to present unpublished, original papers either as LONG PAPERS (appoximately 20 double spaced pages) or as SHORT PAPERS (approximately 7 double spaced pages). A poster session will also be organized.

PROCEEDINGS The proceedings of ECCV-90 were published by Springer-Verlag in the "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" series and it is intended to make a similar arrangement for ECCV-92. The proceedings will be distributed to participants at the begin- nig of the Conference. In addition, a selection of the best papers from ECCV-90 will shortly be published in a Special Issue of Image and Vision Computing. Again, it is intended to make similar arrangements for ECCV-92. VIDEO PROCEEDINGS In addition to the publication of the "paper proceedings" a collection of videos will be produced showing the dynamic results presented. The selection of the videos will be coordi- nated by Giovanni Garibotto of ELSAG S.p.A. RELATED EVENTS Scientific Events: In the week preceding ECCV-92 the IEEE Conference on Robotics and Automation will be held in Nice (France). Santa Margherita Ligure is conveniently connected through local transportation (train or car) for those who whish to attend both events. 1992 Celebration of the Discovery of America: The year 1992 will be a special year for the city of Genoa. The city will host a number of cultural and entertainement events in honour of the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America by the Genoese explorer Cristoforo Colombo. Among these events a world exhibition and a new acquarium will be opened to the public. VENUE OF THE CONFERENCE The conference will be held in Santa Margherita Ligure at the Hotel Miramare. Santa Margherita Ligure is a small town in the Italian Riviera close to the city of Genova. The Hotel Miramare is located on the sea facing the Portofino Gulf a few kilometers from the village of Portofino. Also close to the conference site is the pleasant resort area of "Cinque Terre" whose picturesque villages on the rocky coast can be reached by train only. The Conference site can be reached by car or by train from the major cities of the northern and central Italy. The closest international airports are Genova, Pisa, Milan and Rome.
