The Sixth International Workshop on Graphics Recognition (GREC2005),
organized by IAPR TC-10 (Technical Committee on Graphics Recognition),
will be held at the City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong on
August 25-26, 2005, just before the 8th International Conference
on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR), Seoul, Korea. The
GREC workshops provide an excellent opportunity for researchers
and practitioners at all levels of experience to meet colleagues
and to share new ideas and knowledge about graphics recognition
methods. Graphics recognition is a subfield of document image
analysis that deals with graphical entities in engineering drawings,
maps, architectural plans, musical scores, mathematical notation,
tables, diagrams, etc. GREC'05 will continue the tradition of
the following past workshops:
GREC'95
in University Park, Pennsylvania, USA, August, 1995, LNCS Volume
1072, Springer, 1996.
GREC'97
in Nancy, France, August, 1997, LNCS Volume 1389, Springer, 1998.
GREC'99 in Jaipur, India, August, 1999, LNCS Volume 1941, Springer,
2000.
GREC01
in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, Sep. 7-8, 2001. LNCS Volume 2390,
Springer, 2002.
GREC03
in Barcelona, Spain, July 30-31, 2003. LNCS Volume 3088, Springer,
2004.
In addition, since this will be GREC 10th anniversary, more exciting
programs and events will also be considered.
Location:
The City
University of Hong Kong is located at one of the city
centers, with convenient and efficient public transportation to
almost all important sites in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong airport
is a top 5 transfer center of transportation in Asia. There are
more than 10 direct flights everyday between Hong Kong and Seoul,
run by Korean, Asiana, Cathay Pacific, etc. A normal flight takes
about 2.5-3 hours.
Workshop Format:
The program will be organized in a single-track 2-day workshop. It will comprise several sessions dedicated to specific topics. For each session, there will be an invited presentation describing the state of the art and stating the open questions for the session's topic, followed by a number of short presentations that will contribute by proposing solutions to some of the questions or presenting results of the speaker's work. Each session will be concluded by a panel discussion.
Topics:
The topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
Raster-to-vector techniques.
Recognition of graphical primitives.
Recognition of graphic symbols in charts, diagrams, and drawings.
Interpretation of engineering drawings, maps, tables, and other
graphical documents.
Graphics-based information retrieval.
3-D models from multiple 2-D views (line drawings).
Description of complete systems for interpretation graphic documents.
Performance evaluation in graphics recognition.
Authoring, editing, storing and presentation systems for graphics
multimedia documents.
Contests:
As at the past
workshops, we plan to continue some kinds of contests on graphics
recognition at GREC'2005. Currently we have the two candidates:
Arc
segmentation.
Symbol
recognition.
Anyway, we are still open to other suggestions. Anyone who wants
to run similar or other contest please contact the workshop chairs.
