Procams 2005

Overview

Recently there has been an explosion of interest in systems which combine projection technology with computer vision. Examples include display walls, interactive display surfaces, intelligent environments and performance art. A characteristic of these systems is their ability to passively sense an environment in support of real-time control of projected light. Research in this area spans a number of disciplines including computer vision, computer graphics, HCI and display technologies. In particular, the theory and techniques used by researchers in the area are related, sometimes complementary, to traditional computer vision techniques employed in stereo-camera and gesture recognition systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring researchers from these different areas together and continue fostering a common research community by examining common research problems and open issues. The workshop will also arrange for one panel of leaders in the field to discuss the future of projector-camera systems. In addition, the workshop also plans to hold a poster session.

Program

The program will include:

• Invited presentation from Chris Chinnock, president of Insight Media.
• Invited presentation from Charles Lloyd, Senior Visual Systems Scientist, Barco Simulation.
• Papers will be shown as oral presentations and posters.
• Panel entitled "Bridging the Gap: Divergence between procams research in industry and academics".
• Capstone talk by Perry Hoberman, University of Southern California, USA.

See the Program page for more details.
