00100	The third Conference on Computer Vision will be held at Pajaro Dunes,
00200	California,  on  the  beach  near  Monterey.   The schedule calls for
00300	arrival the evening of Tuesday, April  24,  and  conference  sessions
00400	Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday morning.
00500	
00600	The format of the conference is informal: the sessions gather a small
00700	number of specialists in vision for two and a half days of discussion
00800	in  a  secluded  beach  setting.  No proceedings are published and no
00900	formal papers are presented.   Such a conference  allows  too  little
01000	evaluation,  discussion,  interaction  and speculation. In part, this
01100	follows the feeling that the most benefit from conferences comes from
01200	the  discussions in the halls, not the formal papers.  The purpose of
01300	this working conference is to formulate questions which  will  direct
01400	research  over  the  short term and to work out some understanding of
01500	approaches to their solutions.  Research reports are up to date,  not
01600	a year out of date, and research in progress is discussed.
01700	
01800	The  emphasis  of the conference is on perception and scene analysis,
01900	almost exclusively  of  three  dimensional  objects  and  real  world
02000	scenes. Character recognition and statistical pattern recognition are
02100	not included.  The connection with perceptual psychology is explored.
02200	There  is  strong  interest  in  applications in industrial robotics,
02300	biomedical instrumentation, and planetary exploration.
02400	
     

00100			Where are we?  Conceptually - Technically
00200			What areas are promising?
00300			Where are there difficulties?
00400	
00500	PROPOSED TOPICS
00600	
00700	
00800	The work of Waltz in extending the Huffman-Clowes formalism  achieves
00900	descriptions of symbolic line drawings of scenes of blocks.  In part,
01000	this provides a conceptual understanding of the  problem.   Can  this
01100	work  be  extended to localize problems in line drawings, to interact
01200	more in the process of obtaining lines?  Are there  similar  analytic
01300	extensions to curved objects and the real world?
01400	
01500	Recent work at Stanford in  interpretation  of  complex  objects  has
01600	dealt  with  dolls,  toy  horses  and  objects of similar complexity.
01700	Where is that leading?
01800	
01900	What is the state of applicability of visual and robotics techniques?
02000	What is the level of visual feedback and other  applications-oriented
02100	vision?
02200		assembly applications
02300		biomedical applications
02400		planetary exploration
02500	What are feasibility estimates of cost and capability?
02600	
02700	How does our knowledge  interface  with  psychology?   What  are  the
02800	recent  results  and  important  questions  in  psychology?   What is
02900	common?
03000	
03100	Discuss the new line of work in model driven  visual  strategies  and
03200	recent  work  on  outdoor  scenes.   How  primitive  are they and how
03300	extendible?
03400	
03405	
03410	A fee of $100.00 covers room, meals, and registration; any surplus
03415	will be returned to participants.
03420	Accomodations have been traditionally camping out in a couple of
03425	beach houses.  Reservations can be made at nearby motels for those
03430	for whom the accomodations would be an inconvenience.
03500	
03600	Instructions for reaching Pajaro Dunes will be provided.  The location
03700	is on the coast near Watsonville and Monterey.  Expect some sun and some
03800	grey, cool with some rain.  We will try to arrange transportation from
03900	San Francisco Airport which is 1 1/2 miles drive to Pajaro Dunes.  Please
04000	let us know your travel plans.
04100	
04105	Please indicate your intent to participate, together with the
04110	advance fee of $100.00 (to Conference of Computer Vision) to:
