- Dear Colleague,
-
- Are you interested in the workshop (details below)?
- Note that Perth in December is HOT and the beach is nearby!
- It is a very pleasant place to visit.

- FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- WORKSHOP ON TWO AND THREE DIMENSIONAL SPATIAL DATA:
- REPRESENTATION AND STANDARDS
-
- Overview
- ~~~~~~~
- It is proposed to hold a two day workshop on issues of
- representation and standards of 2D and 3D spatial
- representations. This will be held in Perth at Curtin
- University on the 7th and 8th of December 1992. The format
- of the workshop will be a number of invited talks by both
- national and international researchers. There will be time for
- discussion and the presentation by Australian researchers and
- commercial users.
-
- Workshop contents
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The choice and use of representations for two and three
- dimensional data and information is crucial to the disciplines of:
-
- Computer Vision Pattern Recognition
- Computer Graphics Remote Sensing
- Computer Aided Design Image Processing
- Man Machine Interface Virtual Reality
- Geographical Information Systems
- Medical Databases and Applications
-
- Each of these fields is concerned with the processing and
- analysis of information that can be represented using a variety
- of techniques. The choice of the particular technique is, to a
- large extent, dependent on the application and available
- technology. It is a truism that each discipline makes use of its
- own particular representation(s) which leads to incompatibility
- with other disciplines.
-
- It is becoming obvious that there is an increasing
- interdependence in the above disciplines for representing
- objects and environments. There is therefore a need to bring
- together researchers and users in different disciplines to interact
- and address the issues that arise in different forms of spatial
- representation. The topics covered in this workshop will
- include (but not be limited to):
-
- Techniques for two and three dimensional spatial representation
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- There are a large number of different representations e.g.
- octrees, quadtrees, BReps, CSG trees used by many
- practitioners in different disciplines. Presentations of new
- techniques, extensions and use in new areas will be favoured.
-
- Compatibility and standardisation of various representations
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- There is increasing commonality between the various
- disciplines e.g. computer graphics, vision and CAGD, and
- GIS and remote sensing. Presentation on issues concerned
- with standardisation of representations across disciplines and
- interchange of data will be welcome.
-
- Abstract models for representing environments
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- There is a need and interest in different types of representation
- e.g. functional and teleological that can be used to represent
- spatial data to capture meaning which is difficult to represent
- in the more traditional methods. Presentations of new models
- in these and similar directions are welcome.
-
- Tools for manipulating spatially organised data
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- One of the biggest problems with any representation is the
- manipulation, display etc. of the data. While each discipline
- has its own means of handling data there is little exchange of
- ideas across the disciplines. We welcome presentations that
- describe new tools or the application of existing tools to other
- disciplines.
-
- Invited Speakers
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Prof. B. Hibbard, Space and Science Engineering Centre, USA.
- One other well known researcher to be announced.
-
- Who should attend
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The workshop should be suitable for people from the
- academic, applied and industrial research and development
- communities. It is important for all three areas to be well
- represented to allow cross fertilisation between cutting edge
- research and end users.
-
- Deadlines and Format
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
