******* Topic and Motivation

The ubiquity and miniaturization of cameras as well as the increase
of computational power of mobile and handheld devices has lead to
a large increase in research, algorithms and applications in the area.
The research challenges are not only efficiency, speed and low-complexity
algorithms, but also additional demands on robustness because of the
mobility of the devices as well as the inferior quality of the cameras
themselves. Applications such as augmented reality, object recognition,
and visual localization are all highly interesting and challenging, but
undoubtedly there is an enormous potential for other uses as well.


Given the high interest in mobile vision, it is not surprising that the
expertise and researchers working on these topics are scattered
over a range of different communities, ranging from the computer
vision community to the ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile
computing communities. This workshop therefore aims to bring
together the leading researchers in the respective fields, in order
to push the envelope of today's applications of mobile vision.


******* Deadlines
Deadline for Paper Submissions: February 5, 2006
Acceptance Notification: March 15, 2006
Camera-ready Copy: April 5, 2006


******* Submissions
The objective of this workshop is to promote information exchange and
technical interaction among researchers working on algorithms and
systems for mobile vision. Expertise and researchers working on
mobile vision are scattered over a range of different communities,
ranging from computer vision community to the ubiquitous, wearable,
and mobile computing communities. This workshop therefore aims to
bring together the leading researchers in the respective fields

We invite submissions of papers up to 15 pages LNCS format including
all authors information. The submissions may range from new algorithms
addressing particular challenges of using computer vision in a mobile
setting to entire systems which use mobile vision as a key technology.
As the field of mobile vision is quite broad we invite all submissions
which make a contribution to any aspect of this new field.
