Conference Overview

The Third European Conference on Colour in Graphics, Imaging, and Vision (CGIV) will be held at the University of Leeds, United Kingdom, on 19-22 (Monday–Thursday) June 2006. On behalf of IS&T and the CGIV 2006 committees I would like to invite you to attend this exciting event.

CGIV 2006 builds on two preceding conferences: CGIV 2002 (Poitiers, France) and CGIV 2004 (Aachen, Germany). Some particular highlights of this year’s programme follow:

First, we received a record-breaking 190 paper submissions, of which slightly more than half were accepted by the expert review committee. The rigorous review process ensures that the conference will offer presentations of the highest technical quality.
CGIV2006 is scheduled as a single-track programme, with six conventional sessions—colour science, colour vision, computational colour, colour in computer graphics, colour image
processing, and multi-spectral imaging—and two new In response to strong demand, image quality and colour reproduction have been added (see page 9).
On Monday, prior to the start of the technical sessions, CGIV is offers two exciting programmes. In the morning you may choose from seven short courses—covering topics from colour science for HDTV and digital cinema to multispectral imaging—given by knowledgeable instructors (see page 3). In the afternoon, the ICC (International Color Consortium) hosts DevCon Europe ’06, a special symposium for users and product developers working with ICC-based color management, particularly ICC v4 (see page 8).
During the conference reception on Tuesday evening, attendees will have the opportunity to visit the laboratories of those working in areas related to colour science at the University of Leeds.
And finally, the conference banquet, held on Wednesday night, showcases Leeds Civic Hall, one of the beautiful buildings that makes Leeds a favorite tourist destination. As the modern capital of Yorkshire—home of the famous Yorkshire Dales in the north—and surrounded by renowned historical towns such as Harrogate, Ilkley and Skipton, Leeds offers outstanding local attractions, along with a vibrant nightlife and cultural scene.

We look forward to showing you stunning views under the bright June sun. Please join us this summer in Leeds where all of these colourful attractions await you at CGIV2006.
