01700	Dear @1:
01800	
01900	
02000	
02100	
02200	The third Conference on Computer Vision will be held at Pajaro Dunes,
02300	California,  on  the  beach  near  Monterey.   The schedule calls for
02400	arrival the evening of Tuesday, April  24,  and  conference  sessions
02500	Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday morning.
02600	
02700	The format of the conference is informal: the sessions gather a small
02800	number of specialists in vision for two and a half days of discussion
02900	in  a  secluded  beach  setting.  No proceedings are published and no
03000	formal papers are presented.   Such a conference  allows  too  little
03100	evaluation,  discussion,  interaction  and speculation. In part, this
03200	follows the feeling that the most benefit from conferences comes from
03300	the  discussions in the halls, not the formal papers.  The purpose of
03400	this working conference is to formulate questions which  will  direct
03500	research  over  the  short term and to work out some understanding of
03600	approaches to their solutions.  Research reports are up to date,  not
03700	a year out of date, and research in progress is discussed.
03800	
03900	The  emphasis  of the conference is on perception and scene analysis,
04000	almost exclusively  of  three  dimensional  objects  and  real  world
04100	scenes. Character recognition and statistical pattern recognition are
04200	not included.  The connection with perceptual psychology is explored.
04300	There  is  strong  interest  in  applications in industrial robotics,
04400	biomedical instrumentation, and planetary exploration.
04500	
04600	
04700	
04800			Where are we?  Conceptually - Technically
04900			What areas are promising?
05000			Where are there difficulties?
05100	
05200	PROPOSED TOPICS
05300	
05400	
05500	The work of Waltz in extending the Huffman-Clowes formalism  achieves
05600	descriptions of symbolic line drawings of scenes of blocks.  In part,
05700	this provides a conceptual understanding of the  problem.   Can  this
05800	work  be  extended to localize problems in line drawings, to interact
05900	more in the process of obtaining lines?  Are there  similar  analytic
06000	extensions to curved objects and the real world?
06100	
06200	Recent work at Stanford in  interpretation  of  complex  objects  has
06300	dealt  with  dolls,  toy  horses  and  objects of similar complexity.
06400	Where is that leading?
06500	
06600	What is the state of applicability of visual and robotics techniques?
06700	What is the level of visual feedback and other  applications-oriented
06800	vision?
06900		assembly applications
07000		biomedical applications
07100		planetary exploration
07200	What are feasibility estimates of cost and capability?
07300	
07400	How does our knowledge  interface  with  psychology?   What  are  the
07500	recent  results  and  important  questions  in  psychology?   What is
07600	common?
07700	
07800	Discuss the new line of work in model driven  visual  strategies  and
07900	recent  work  on  outdoor  scenes.   How  primitive  are they and how
08000	extendible?
08100	
08200	
08300	A fee of $100.00 covers room, meals, and  registration;  any  surplus
08400	will   be   returned   to   participants.   Accomodations  have  been
08500	traditionally camping out in a couple of beach houses.   Reservations
08600	can  be  made  at  nearby motels for those for whom the accomodations
08700	would be an inconvenience.
08800	
08900	Instructions  for  reaching  Pajaro  Dunes  will  be  provided.   The
09000	location  is on the coast near Watsonville and Monterey.  Expect some
09100	sun and some grey, cool with some  rain.   We  will  try  to  arrange
09200	transportation  from San Francisco Airport which is 1 1/2 hours drive
09300	to Pajaro Dunes.  Please let us know your travel plans.
09400	
09500	Please indicate your intent to participate, together with the advance
09600	fee of $100.00 (to Conference of Computer Vision) to:
