The 2004 CGIV Conference

NEW! Conference Photo Gallery

The Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T) invites you to the Second European Conference on Color in Graphics, Imaging and Vision (CGIV 2004), to be held at the technology center AGIT in Aachen, Germany, April 5-8, 2004. The conference is the second in a new cycle of IS&T European conferences on a wide range of topics related to color and visual information. The conference will include a special session on Multispectral Color Science, representing the 6th International Symposium on this topic organized by an informal consortium of universities (www.multispectral.org).

The first conference, CGIV 2002 held in Poitiers, France, was a great success and brought together engineers and scientists from all over the world. Researchers in many color related fields, technical communities and the industry presented their newest results in the theory and application of color.

The second conference, in Aachen, Germany aims to build on the success of CGIV 2002. We again seek to provide a forum for new research in color but more than this we wish to facilitate the meeting of minds. Engineers and scientists from academics will meet each other but they will also meet researchers from industry. The exchange of ideas is something we set out to encourage. The list of topics we sought to attract to this conference are included in the technical program below. The conference will begin with an interesting and stimulating series of tutorials covering the present state of the art of color science and applications. The following day will start with a plenary session of invited talks followed by technical papers on visual and color science and a poster session. On the next day, the program will break up into two tracks consisting of sessions on industrial and other applications, color in computer vision, color in image processing and the international symposium on multispectral color science. Over 50 oral and 60 poster presentations selected from an overwhelming range of submissions will be presented by scientists and engineers from more than 20 countries. Not only universities, but also industrial research and development groups are strongly invited. So, do not miss CGIV 2004 and discussions of the future of color imaging science. All papers will be published in CGIV 2004 Conference Proceedings. The conference language will be English.

CGIV 2004 will not only be a forum for technical discussions but also offers a number of special events. There will be a welcome party in the famous coronation room of the Town Hall combined with a visit of the cathedral and the old district of Aachen in the evening of the second day and after the technical program of the third day, a conference dinner will give you the opportunity to renew old friendships and set up new contacts in a relaxed atmosphere.

So, take the opportunity to share and discuss your work with engineers and scientists from all over the world by participating in IS&T CGIV 2004 in Aachen, combining it with a cultural experience in a central part of Europe where three countries meet.
