Workshop on Computer Vision System Control Architectures (VSCA 2003)


March 31, 2003
NEW VENUE: Hotel Weitzer near the Convention Center Graz, Austria

SCOPE

Modern high-level vision algorithms must take account of greater options than in the past: All these lead to vision systems with embedded specialized process controllers.

This workshop will bring together recent research into the issues involving the control of the system's processing (in contrast to what the system is processing). This means research that includes:

The goal of the workshop is to invigorate a research area that has not had much exposure in the past decade, but which is likely to become important in the next decade as the research community shifts to problems in data stream interpretation.
