Welcome to the home page for CRV 2007, the 4th Canadian Conference on Computer and Robot Vision, formerly known as Vision Interface (VI). CRV 2007 will be held on May 28-30 (Monday to Wednesday) at Marriott Chateau Champlain in Montreal.

In 2004, the 17th Vision Interface conference was renamed the 1st Canadian Conference on Computer and Robot Vision, and was held in London, ON. CRV is held jointly with AI 2006 and GI 2006.

Program

Information for presenters:

• Oral presentations are 20 minutes long, including time for speaker setup and questions.
• Posters should be no larger than 44 inches wide by 40 inches tall.

Update Oct. 18/05: The top 15 papers from CRV 2005 are going to be published in a special issue of the Journal of Image and Vision Computing. We are looking forward to making similar arrangements for this year's CRV.

Registration for CRV2006 requires registration online and then paying by credit card (by fax or telephone) or by paying by cheque (drawn on a Canadian bank in Canadian funds). Sorry, we do not accept bank transfers as these are quite expensive to process. Registration is not complete until we receive your payment.

Sponsors

We are sponsored by the Canadian Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Society (CIPPRS) and endorsed by the International Association of Pattern Recognition. The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society in paper format and on-line. The proceedings will be automatically archived into the IEEE Computer Society's digital library and the IEEE's XPlore and IEL digital libraries (giving them long-term worldwide visibility). The proceedings are also indexed through the INSPEC indexing service.

Invited Speakers

• Yann LeCun, New York University
• Jana Kosecka, George Mason University
• John Leonard, MIT

Author Submissions

Papers are invited in English only. The length of the papers should be limited to eight double-column pages. Style files for latex and Word are available below. Submissions (in pdf, ps or doc format) are to be done electronically through the electronic conference submission webpage . Please adhere to the page limitations (8 pages with 2 additional pages at $250CDB per page). Submissions should be in the required format as the time between acceptance of your paper and submission of the final draft to IEEE is about 1-2 weeks. Finally, all PDF submissions must embed all fonts. Failure to adhere to this requirement will result in automatic rejection.

All papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the Program Committee. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, a cd copy of which will be distributed at the conference. The proceedings will also be made available on-line through the IEEE digital libraries. IEEE will hold the paper copyright (you will have to sign a form agreeing to this when your paper is accepted).

Formatting Templates: LaTeX Word

Best Paper Awards

CRV2006 will award IAPR prizes for best paper ($300CDN) and best student paper ($200CDN). We also will make best paper awards in the main areas covered by the conference.

Call for Papers

The Canadian Conference on Computer and Robot Vision (CRV2006) is a single-track conference consisting of high quality, previously unpublished papers, presented either orally or as a poster. Only full papers will be considered, no (extended) abstracts please. Contributions are sought on any aspect of computer vision, robot vision, robotics, medical imaging, image processing or pattern recognition, including but not restricted to the following topics:

• 2D/3D Scene analysis
• Active Vision
• Applications - biomedical, robotic, surveillance, inspection, entertainment
• Augmented Reality
• Biometrics
• Biological & Psychological aspects of Vision
• Calibration & Rectification (Mosaicing)
• Document Processing & Handwriting Recognition (OCR)
• Early Vision
• Face Detection & Recognition
• Gesture Detection & Recognition
• Graphics Recognition/Engineering Drawings
• Human Activity Recognition
• Human-Computer Interaction
• Image/Video Databases (multi-media, image/video retrieval)
• Image Segmentation & Classification
• Industrial applications (manufacturing)
