Scale-Space'01:
IEEE Workshop on Scale-Space and Morphology in Computer Vision
Sheraton Wall Centre, Vancouver, Canada
July 7-8, 2001 in conjunction with ICCV 2001

Sponsored by PAMI Technical Committee, IEEE Computer Society

Scale-space theory has developed into an important branch of multi-scale techniques. The foundations are mathematically well established, and its applications cover all areas of digital imaging. In mathematical morphology, recent developments have been made with large similarities to scale-space approaches.

The purposes of the workshop are to exchange information and to foster interactions among researchers in scale-space theory in computer vision and mathematical morphology. Contributed papers describing recent advances in either area of research, applications thereof, as well as papers representing or indicating possibilities for cross-fertilization between these disciplines, are welcomed. A list of possible topics for submissions, meant to be suggestive rather than exclusive, is:

Morphological Image Processing	Linear Scale Space
Discrete Geometry for Image Analysis	PDE-based Methods
Morphological Algorithms	Nonlinear Diffusion
Deep Structure of Images	Variational Methods
Feature Detection	Level Set Methods
Segmentation	Geometric Image Flows
Shape Analysis	Regularization and Scale-Space
Motion Analysis	Biologically Motivated Multiscale Methods
Multiscale Color Analysis	Scale-Space Applications      in Medical Imaging and Computer Vision

This workshop continues the successful series of international conferences on scale space theories in computer vision (Utrecht, 1997; Corfu, 1999). Following discussion with members of the morphology community at ICCV '99, a joint workshop was envisioned. This workshop is the embodiment of that vision. The proceedings will be published as Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Springer).
