GOAL OF THE WORKSHOP
The goal of the workshop is to share the potential of subspace methods
with researchers working on various problems in computer vision, and
to encourage interactions which could lead to further developments of
subspace methods. The fundamental theories of subspace methods and
their applications in computer vision will be discussed at the
workshop.

SUBSPACE METHODS
Subspace methods are important for solving many theoretical problems
in pattern recognition and computer vision. Also they have been widely
used as a practical methodology in a large variety of real
applications. Subspace methods have been studied intensively, in
particular, in the field of character recognition, contributing to a
number of commercial optical character recognition systems. During the
last three decades, the area has become one of the most successful
underpinnings of diverse applications such as classification,
recognition, pose estimation, motion estimation. At the same time,
there are many new and evolving research topics: nonlinear methods
including kernel methods, manifold learning, subspace update and
tracking.

PREVIOUSLY ORGANIZED WORKSHOPS
Prior to this workshop, we have successfully organized three related
workshops: an international workshop on subspace methods, Subspace
2007 in conjunction with ACCV2007, and two Japanese workshops,
Subspace 2006 and 2008. The number of attendees and submissions for
these workshops demonstrate their success. Especially, the Proceedings
of the Subspace2007 workshop have been downloaded more than 800 times
from the workshop's website from 38 different countries for the first
six months. We believe that Subspace 2009 in conjunction with ICCV
will stimulate fruitful discussions among the participants and provide
novel ideas for future research in computer vision.


SCOPE
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Theoretical foundations of subspace methods
    Iijima equation, Watanabe's formulation of CLAFIC theory,
    subspace methods as degenerated Gaussians, geometry for subspace methods, etc.

- Theoretical extensions of subspace methods
    Construction methodology of subspaces (PCA, CCA, FA, ICA, kernel PCA,　etc),
    nonlinear subspace methods, mutual subspace methods and their theoretical extensions,
    manifold learning, similarity measures with subspaces, illumination cones, etc.

- Related methods
    Mathematical feature extraction (n-mode SVD), eigenspace methods,
    discriminant analysis, subspaces in factorization methods

- Applications
    Object recognition, face recognition, gesture recognition, character recognition,
    motion analysis, scene analysis, robot vision, biometrics, anomaly detection,
    data visualization, other novel applications
