                    THE FIFTH ALVEY VISION CONFERENCE
                          University of Reading,
                        25th-28th, September 1989

                    ================================
                    ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
                    ================================

As on previous occasions, the primary purpose of the conference is to serve as
a forum for the presentation of the most recent results of investigations
funded by the Alvey Directorate (now administered by the Information
Engineering Directorate of the DTI), but original papers reporting other work
are also welcome.  The programme will also include key-note presentations by
invited speakers.

Contributions are sought on any novel aspect of computational vision;
presentations will normally be of 15 or 20 minutes duration.  A printed copy
of the Proceedings will be available to delegates at the conference, and a
selection of the best papers will be published separately in a special issue
of Image and Vision Computing Journal.

Topics of particular interest include:
            Image Processing and Feature Analysis
            Practical Applications of Machine Vision
            Object Recognition and Identification
            Scene Analysis and Image Interpretation
            Reconstruction of 3-d Shape
            Computational issues in Visual Perception
            Sensors and Robotic Vision
            Architectures for Vision Systems

Separate cash prizes will be given for the two papers which are judged by the
programme committee:
     (i) to make the best scientific contribution
         (sponsored by the AVC committee),   or
    (ii) to have the greatest industrial potential
         (sponsored by Computer Recognition Systems Ltd.)
