CfP: 4th Projector-Camera Systems (ProCams) Workshop, with CVPR 2007

*** CVPR 2007 ProCams Workshop CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ***

4th Projector-Camera Systems (ProCams) Workshop
With IEEE Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2007
June 18, 2007, Minneapolis, MN
http://www.procams2007.org/


There continues to be growing interest in systems that combine 
projection technology with computer vision. Examples include 
automatically calibrated display walls, interactive display surfaces, 
intelligent environments and performance art. A characteristic of these 
systems is their ability to passively sense an environment in support of 
real-time control of projected light. Research in this area spans a 
number of disciplines including computer vision, computer graphics, HCI 
and display technologies. In particular, the theory and techniques used 
by researchers in the area are related, sometimes complementarily, to 
traditional computer vision techniques employed in stereo-camera and 
gesture recognition systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring 
researchers from these different areas together and continue fostering a 
common research community by examining common research problems and open 
issues.


Workshop topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the 
following areas:

   Automatic detection of projector, camera and surface characteristics
   Multi-view geometry applied to projectors and cameras
   Geometric and photometric calibration
   Radiometric compensation
   Novel user-interfaces
   People sensing
   Environment modeling
   Immersive and interactive displays
   Application experiences
   Architecture of projector-camera systems
   Computer vision in the presence of projected information
   Steerable projectors
   Virtual keyboards
   Novel applications
   Projector-camera-based art
   Historical or cultural exploration/preservation
   Projector-camera supported computational photography


ProCams 2007 will be the fourth such workshop. ProCams 2003 was 
collocated with ICCV in Nice (http://www.procams.org/procams2003/), 
ProCams 2005 was held with CVPR in San Diego 
(http://www.procams.org/procams2005/), and ProCams 2006 was held with 
CVPR in New York http://www.procams.org/procams2006).

This year's workshop will consist of invited talks, peer-reviewed 
technical presentations, and poster presentations. In addition, we are 
planning a combined technical demonstration/artistic exhibit session.  
Please see http://www.procams2007.org/ for complete submission 
instructions.  Note that we will ask authors to explicitly commit to 
personally attend the workshop to present accepted submissions, or to 
arrange for a suitable replacement presenter.


TECHNICAL PAPERS
We encourage the submission of technical papers up to eight pages for 
oral presentation. If your paper could be accompanied by a hands-on 
demonstration, we encourage you to also submit a separate technical 
demonstration proposal (see below). Paper submissions not accepted for a 
full oral presentation might be offered the opportunity for a poster 
presentation.

   Email: papers@ProCams2007.org


POSTERS
We invite the submission of two-page proposals for technical or 
art-related poster presentations. Posters might describe recently 
completed work, work in progress, or publicly presentable ideas for 
unimplemented and/or unusual systems or applications.

   Posters Chair: Ruigang Yang (University of Kentucky)

TECHNICAL AND ARTISTIC DEMONSTRATIONS
We invite proposals for technical and artisic demonstrations during the 
planned demonstration/exhibit session. Researchers with accepted 
demonstrations may be awarded a limited grant to help defray related 
expenses. Awards will be based on needs and available funds.

   Demo Chair: Rahul Sukthankar (Intel Research and Carnegie Mellon)
