1st. INTERNATIONAL WORK-CONFERENCE ON THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL COMPUTATION
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands ( Spain )
June 15-18, 2005
Special Session on "Natural and Artificial Aspects of Visual Attention"
Description:
Selective attention mechanisms for perceiving the environment are of a great interest in current research. Visual attention (VA) refers to the ability of a vision system to rapidly detect salient locations in a given scene for localization, identification and understanding of objects in a dynamic environment. Attention in computer vision aims to mimic natural vision systems by selecting just desired input information. Human VA, bio-inspired models, feature extraction, saliency maps, VA related pre-attentive and attentive tasks, problem solving methods, and ontologies as well as application of VA in domains ranging from scene understanding and robotics to video interpretation and advertising are welcome. Implementation aspects involving artificial neural networks, highly parallel or hybrid architectures are further potential items considered proper for this pre-organized session.
Paper submission:
Authors (no more than four for each paper) must submit the camera-ready final version of papers written in English (official language of the conference), of up to 10 pages (including figures, tables and references) in electronic format. Please, send 1 copy to the session organizers (heinz.hugli@unine.ch, caballer@info-ab.uclm.es) before February 15th ( 23:59 h. UTC), and then (after session organizers agree) register the paper in the submission web form (http://www.iwinac.uned.es:9673/IWINAC/Forms/Paper). The contributions must use only the LATEX2e style file (llncs.cls) available in the Springer instructions web page: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Other formats or draft versions cannot be accepted at all (see hints for LATEX2e on MS-Windows in web page http://www.iwinac.uned.es/latex-hints-win.html ). Please, use gray scale (not color) for all the figures. The proceedings will be published in the "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" series from Springer-Verlag.
