[Imageworld] OMNIVIS 2007 - New Deadline Extension

[Akihiro Sugimoto]

----------------------------------------------------------------------
   OMNIVIS'2007 - 7th Workshop on Omnidirectional Vision, Camera
Networks, and Non Conventional Cameras
(in conjunction with ICCV 2007 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

   Since the ICCV rebuttal phase started latter than planned, the OMNIVIS
submission deadline has been extended to the 16th OF JULY (next Monday).

   We want to remind you that OMNIVIS is accepting submissions of works 
which are still under ICCV review (see details about dual submission 
policy in the CFP). Papers which may fall out from ICCV can still be 
accepted in OMNIVIS. This deadline extension will enable potential 
authors to strength their submissions by incorporating comments and 
suggestions from ICCV reviewers.


- New Submission Deadline:     July 16, 2007 (12:00 EDT)
- Submission Site:             http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/omnivis2007/

   For further details please check the web site, or the Call for Papers

            The SEVENTH WORKSHOP on OMNIDIRECTIONAL VISION
              CAMERA NETWORKS and NON-CLASSICAL CAMERAS

We are pleased to announce OMNIVIS'2007, the Seventh Workshop on 
Omnidirectional Vision, Camera Networks and Non-classical Cameras, 
to be held on October 20th in conjunction with ICCV 2007 in Rio 
de Janeiro, Brazil. The OMNIVIS'2007 Workshop continues a series of 
workshops started in 2000. The aim of the workshop is to bring together 
researchers interested in networked, distributed, and omnidirectional 
vision. 

Contributions are sought on new and original research on any aspect 
of omnidirectional vision and camera networks, including novel sensor 
design, panoramic vision applications, and scalable algorithms for 
large-scale camera networks. All papers will be subject to a double-blind 
review process which will be carried out by experienced researchers 
in the field. 

In addition to a focus on any aspect of omnidirectional cameras or
non-classical cameras, contributions are sought for new and original
research on problems associated with large-scale networks of cameras.
Low-powered camera chips, advances in wireless technology and
longer-life batteries will allow for deployment of networks of
wireless camera nodes for surveillance, tele-immersion, environmental
modeling, entertainment and for use in exploration by teams of
persons or robots with mounted cameras.  Success has been made in the
field of sensor networks for comparatively low-bandwidth sensors,
however, scaling up to the bandwidth required by imagery sources is
not yet solved.  Furthermore, many of the problems faced in the
wireless setting are still open for large-scale, wired camera
networks.  

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
 * Omnidirectional cameras
   - calibration
   - structure-from-motion
   - visual servoing
   - image processing
   - applications
 * Non-classical sensors
   - algorithms and calibration
   - novel, application-tailored designs
 * Large- (>1000) and medium-scale (10-1000) camera networks
   - decentralized algorithms robust to node failures
   - continuous calibration, e.g., of non-stationary camera networks
   - camera deployment and distributed calibration
   - applications: surveillance, tele-immersion, intelligent environments

CVIU Special Issue :
--------------------

 We are happy to announce that there will be a COMPUTER VISION AND IMAGE 
UNDERSTANDING special issue associated with OMNIVIS'2007. The authors of 
the best papers will be invited to submit an extended/reviewed version 
of their work that will undergo an additional review stage for final 
acceptance.

------------------
Author Information:
------------------

 The OMNIVIS proceedings will be published by IEEE together with 
the ICCV proceedings. Therefore the submission must follow the 
IEEE format (a summary cover page is not required for OMNIVIS). 

 For each accepted paper it will be allocated 6 pages in the 
proceedings, with the option of purchasing up to 2 extra pages for 
$100 per page (to be paid after paper acceptance at the time of 
registration for the conference.) So, if you are unwilling or 
unable to pay the extra charge you should limit yourself to 6 pages. 

 Papers will be reviewed double-blind and therefore submitted 
papers should be strictly anonymous; reviewers should not be 
able to infer author's identity from the article.

 Papers should be submitted till JULY 12, 2007 through our submission 
web site. The site will close at 17:00 EDT (Eastern Daylight Time). To 
access the submission site go to

  http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/omnivis2007/

----------------------
Dual Submission Policy:
----------------------

 Dual submissions with ICCV are explicitly allowed, with the 
 understanding that if the paper gets accepted to ICCV, it will 
 automatically be withdrawn from OMNIVIS. The ICCV rebuttal phase 
 will be before OMNIVIS submission, so authors will have the 
 opportunity to submit a (possibly revised) version of their 
 ICCV submission to OMNIVIS after seeing their ICCV reviews. 
 Dual submissions with ICCV must be clearly identified as such, 
 and must include the ICCV paper number. In case the OMNIVIS 
 submission is different from ICCV submission, a list of changes 
 should be included (in case both version get reviewed by the 
 same person).
