GKPO 2000

6th International Conference on
Computer Graphics and Image Processing

NOTE: the Conference has already taken place.

Call for Papers

The 6th GKPO 2000 Conference intends to group the best researchers active in the field of pictorial information exchange between computer and its environment. The reviewing process and strict acceptance criteria ensure high quality of the accepted papers. The Conference is planned as a single track of oral and poster presentations. The number of participants is limited to 80 persons.

The conference will be a forum for presentation of theoretical aspects, methods, applications and systems of image generation and processing. Unpublished research papers are solicited, particularly concerning the following topics:

Image analysis and scene understanding
Multimodal and multisensor models of image formation
Pattern recognition in image processing
Motion analysis, visual navigation and active vision
Geometrical and structural models of objects and scenes
Fractal and chaos theory in image analysis
Modeling of human visual perception and mental imagery
Structure reconstruction, 3D imaging and image synthesis
Infrared, laser etc. imaging
Visualization and graphical data presentation
Virtual reality and pictorial interaction
Pictorial data bases and archivisation
Computational geometry
Computer-aided graphic design, arts and animation
Industrial, medical and other applications

The programme will include: invited papers by leading researchers, selected contributions in oral and poster sessions, an open session, presentaion of systems, and social events.

Paper submission. Authors are requested to submit four copies of manuscript in English (max. 6 pages). Upon acceptance by the reviewers and Programme Committee (selection criteria include originality of ideas, accuracy and clarity of explanation), authors will be asked to submit an IBM PC diskette (in DOS format), containing the text of the paper, prepared with LaTeX with pictures in PostScript.

The papers can be presented on an oral (podium) session or on a poster session, according to the author(s) wish upon submission of the paper. Submission rules, acceptance criteria, and the form of publication in the proceedings are exactly the same for both kinds of papers.

The Best Paper award:

Similarly as for the previous GKPO'98 Conference, the Best Paper Award for the best paper presented at the GKPO 2000 Conference has been funded by the Association for Image Processing (TPO: Towarzystwo Przetwarzania Obrazow). It has been awarded after the presentation of the paper at the conference, to the person presenting the paper, on the basis of the paper's scientific merit and quality of presentation. The winner has been selected (from among several papers nominated by the Programme Committee before the conference) by a body consisting of Programme Committee members augmented by representative(s) of the funding body. The award amounted to 1200 (twelve hundred) Polish zlotys.

The winner is:

Drs. Michel A. Westenberg

a Ph.D. student at the Institute for Mathematics and Computing Science, University of Groningen, The Netherlands, for the presentation of the paper on X-ray volume rendering through two-stage splatting. The second author of the paper was:

Prof. Jos B.T.M. Roerdink

from the same Institute.

The papers nominated for the award by the Programme Committee were (in alphabetical order):

M. El Haziti, D. Aboutajdine, H. Cherifi: Lossless optimization of fractal image coding.
R.M. Palenichka, T.P. Belikova, I.B. Ivasenko: Robust extraction of diagnostic features of lesions from medical radiographic images.
V. Skala, B.D. Huy: Two new algorithms for line clipping in E2 and their comparison.
M.A. Westenberg, J. Roerdink: X-ray volume rendering through two-stage splatting
A. Wojdala, M. Gruszewski, R. Olech: Real-time shadow casting in virtual studio.
