Authors of accepted papers should have been notified by email (where possible). A list of accepted papers is also available on-line.





VI '2000 - the thirteenth Canadian conference devoted to computer vision, signal and image processing, and pattern recognition is sponsored by the Canadian Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Society and the International Association of Pattern Recognition.

 


The 2000 conference will be held in conjunction with the Artificial Intelligence, Graphics Interface, Int. Symposium on Robotics, and IRIS-PRECARN Conference. For a single registration fee, participants can attend presentations in either conferences, promoting the exchange of knowledge among these important disciplines. Time has been set aside for special sessions and other events. A banquet provides additional opportunities to meet speakers and other attendees for informal discussion in a social setting.

Poster Format

We are allocating each poster presentation a 4'H x 4'W space. The panels for VI will be double-sided and each panel is 4' x 8' which means we can put up 2 posters per side of each panel. We will have the type of panel that requires push pins to affix the posters.

Registration

IMPORTANT: There is a major reduction in registration fees for people who are ongoing CIPPRS members (i.e. who joined before the conference, not at the conference). Registration information can be found at http://www.precarn.ca/isr2000/registration/index.htm
