                               Tokyo, Japan

International Workshop  on  Computer Vision  will be held  at Nihon Daigaku
Kaikan, Tokyo, October 12-14, 1988 in advance of the 9th ICPR(International
Conference on Pattern Recognition) in Beijing, October 17-20, 1988.

The workshop is sponsored by International Association for Pattern Recogni-
tion (IAPR) Technical Committee (TC)-6 on Special Architectures and TC-8 on
Industrial  Applications.  The purpose of the workshop is to bring together
participants from research and industrial fields  and to stimulate interna-
tional discussion on the following research topics:

Special Hardware and Industrial Applications
  - High speed image processor
  - VLSI image signal processor chip
  - Image understanding workstation
  - PC-based image analysis system
  - Special-purpose pattern recognition machine
  - Intelligent sensor
  - Software environments for special hardware
  - Visual inspection
  - Robot vision
  - Engineering automation for documents and line drawings
  - New imaging techniques
  - 3-D information usage
  - AI vision techniques in practical applications

The workshop will have  about 20 presentations on the above topics  and  the
following invited talks:
     M. Brady:      (Title is not determined)
     M. Duff:       'Some Considerations on the Limitations of Image
                    Processing Computer Architectures'
     O. Faugeras:   'Depth and Motion Analysis: The Machine Being Developed 
                    in ESPRIT Project P940'
     S. Holland:    'Future Needs in Industrial Vision'
     S. Levialdi:   'Pyramidal Systems'
     H. Nagel:      'On the Interface between Iconic and Symbolic Processing
                    of Images and Image Sequences'
     S. Tanimoto:   'Use of a Pyramid Processor in Intermediate-Level Vision'

Exhibitions on research tools by video equipments and commercial system dem-
onstrations  are  planned.   All  presentations  and exhibitions  will be in 
English.   Registration fee is \30,000 for participant, and  \80,000 for re-
search tool exhibition  including  rent for video  cassette recorder  and TV
monitor.   Those who wish to present a paper  and/or  to exhibit  a research
tool should submit four copies of a 400-word summary by May 15, 1988 to:
