Background of the symposium

This call for extended abstracts is for one of five symposia offered by the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB) under the theme of:

"Cognition in Machines and Animals".

All the symposia will take place at the AISB'03 convention, to be held at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, 7th -11th April 2003, in parallel and serial sessions.

Scope of the symposium "Biologically-inspired Machine Vision, Theory and Application"

Computer vision has developed into a mature science over the last 40 years, but current computer vision systems are vastly different from, and in most cases lack the efficiency of, biological vision systems. Biological vision therefore remains a strong metaphor for the design of machines that simulate intelligent behaviour in visually sensed environments. Immensely rewarding applications in human-machine interaction await advances in the multi-disciplinary threads of machine vision, perception and cognition.

To promote a strong multi-disciplinary interaction, the symposium aims to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of the state-of-the-art and opening directions of research and technology related to biologically-inspired machine vision and visualisation. Papers are sought that advance the theoretical foundations or present applications on this topic. Presentations including, but not limited to the following, are encouraged from both industry and academia:

Contributions bringing together two or more of the above themes, to give a better understanding of a framework towards a more intelligent machine interpretation of images, are especially welcome.
