Second IEEE Workshop on Image and Video Registration
(IVR'04)
Washington DC, July 2nd, 2004
(New Submission Deadline March
9, 2004 to Accommodate CVPR Decisions)
Scope
A key tool in the exploitation of video is
the alignment of video frames to each other or to reference
images and models. Registration of consecutive video frames can
be used for stabilization of video sequences and construction
of video panoramas. Decomposing the motion of image pixels into multiple
(e.g. background and foreground) layers can be used for compression
and indexing. Recovering displacement fields between video frames
can be used for video enhancement, 3D recovery, modeling and image
based rendering. Registration of video to models can be used for
augmented reality, video insertion, geo-registration, and various
applications including site modeling, surveillance, medical imaging
and etc..
This workshop follows the success of the First IEEE
Workshop on Video Registration in conjunction with ICCV01
in Vancouver. This time we also include “Image” in the title of
this workshop since we realize that many researchers are studying
the same research issues using multiple images (snapshots) instead
of a continuous video streams. As in the first Workshop in Vancouver,
the aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from computer
vision, who are involved in different aspects of video registration,
to exchange information and to foster interaction. The plan is also
to invite a few researchers from other disciplines: graphics, photogrammetry,
video coding, medical imaging, etc., who are interested in video registration.
Finally we also wish to expand the “international” dimensions of
the workshop, for example, to have more people from Asia involved. The
workshop program will include submitted papers, invited papers and
a panel discussion. The topics include but are not limited to:
Video Registration Algorithms
- Model-based registration
- Feature-based registration
- Geo-referenced registration
- Spatial/temporal/spectral/radiometric
registration
- Optical flow and motion
detection
- Video registration for camera calibration
and pose estimation
Video Representations
- Site modeling
- Video mosaics
- Layered representation
- Moving object representation
Video Computing
- Video coding and compression
- Video based object re-acquisition and tracking
- Video manipulation (insertion/deletion)
- Video enhancement and image-based
rendering
Video Applications
- 3D and interactive video
- Video-model registration
in medical imaging
- Mapping and photogrammetry
- Video conferencing and video instruction

Important Dates
(Updated)
* Manuscript submission:
March 9, 2004
* Papers distributed for review: March 11, 2004
* Reviews due:
March 29, 2004
* Notification of acceptance: April
5, 2004
* Receipt of camera ready copy: April 26, 2004
Submission (New)
Papers should not exceed 8 double-column pages. Only original
manuscripts will be considered. Dual submission with CVPR is not
permitted. However, if a relevant paper on video an/or multiple
image analysis has been submitted to CVPR, a related, but focused
on registration algorithms and pitfalls on image and video registration
can be submitted to the workshop. This policy is intended to encourage
participation from authors whose papers are accepted in CVPR as well as
those that are not.
Reviewing will be blind circular. By submitting a paper,
each author agrees to review at least 2 other submissions. This procedure
has produced quality, useful reviews in previous CVPR workshops. As
reviewers, authors must comply with the reviewing schedule listed in
"Important Dates". In addition, each paper will be reviewed by at least
1 member in the program committee.
Accepted papers will be published on the web site of this workshop
and they will appear in the CD-ROM of the main CVPR conference as well.
An extended version of some selected papers may be published in an edited
book after the workshop.
Detailed guidelines
The submissions to the workshop will be handled electronically.
The papers must be submitted in pdf format. The CVPR
2004 Author Instructions page contains detailed guidelines about
page limits, font sizes, and overall page layout. We ask that you do
not deviate from these guidelines since this will be a cause for paper
rejection without review.
Our paper submission is going to be web-based. Please
go to the submission web
page, and register first. Then, you can login using the same
web page, and submit your manuscripts. If you encounter problems in
the web-based submission, please send it by email to the organizers. In that case, please
include the author information, contact email, title and abstract of
your paper, and a few keywords.
