Call for papers:

We are pleased to announce OMNIVIS2009, the Ninth Workshop on Omnidirectional Vision, Camera Networks and Non-classical Cameras, to be held on October 4th in conjunction with ICCV2009 in Kyoto, Japan. The OMNIVIS'2009 Workshop continues a series of workshops started in 2000. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in camera networks and omnidirectional vision including novel imaging and projection systems and catadioptric systems. 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 a Program Committee of leading international researchers.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Omnidirectional cameras
- 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

Paper Submission:

Instructions:

The workshop proceedings will be included in the ICCV main conference DVD. Submitted papers should be prepared in the same format as ICCV. Page limit is 8 pages without an extra pages charge unlike ICCV. Your paper will be electrically submitted via the OMNIVIS submission site. Uploaded file of the paper must be PDF format and no more than 10 MB. Author may optionally upload supplemental material for review. All supplemental material must be a single file or zipped into a single file. There is a 10 MB limit on the size of this.

Double blind review:

The review process is double blind: Authors do not know the names of the reviewers of their paper, and reviewers do not know the names of the authors. Author must conceal their identity in the submitted paper for review.

Dual submission policy:

Dual submissions with ICCV main conference are allowed, with the understandings that if the paper gets accepted to ICCV, it will be withdrawn from OMNIVIS. Dual submissions with ICCV must be clearly identified as such in and additional cover pages with the ICCV paper number, also you must inform us when your paper will be accepted to ICCV. If you have revised some part of the paper from ICCV submission, you should also include a list of changes in the cover pages.

Camera ready submission:

Accepted papers will be directly corrected by the ICCV camera ready submission system. Note that you CANNOT submit the paper to the OMNIVIS submission site. You must follow the instructions; http://www.iccv2009.org/final_submission_ws/ for submitting your final manuscript. We require at least one ICCV main conference registration with completed payment for each accepted paper. If none of the authors have completed the conference registration by the camera ready deadline, the paper won't be included in the proceedings.
