RASTER IMAGING AND DIGITAL TYPOGRAPHY
International Workshop,
Ecole Polytechnique Federale, Lausanne, Switzerland
October 12-13, 1989
Chairman: Roger D. Hersch, EPFL
Vice-Chairmen: Jacques ANDRE, INRIA-IRISA - Rennes
Debra Adams, Xerox Parc
Aim/Scope
Raster image processors for non-impact printers and plotters require highly
sophisticated algorithms and performant hardware.
Outline character acquisition, design, manipulation and rasterization,
as well as graphic and image rendering are of major concern to scientists
and engineers involved in the development of raster imaging devices.
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research results on
the most relevant and recent developments in digital typography and
raster imaging. Contributions are welcomed on any of the topic areas
covered by the above theme. This includes (and is not limited to) :
- Shape acquisition (curve fitting)
- Shape manipulation
- Character design
- Character representation and transformation
- Measuring type quality
- Character structures (generation/recognition)
- Page-description languages
- Rasterization algorithms
- Rasterization accuracy
- Fast rasterization hardware
Submit extended abstracts (2-3 pages) or full papers
in English by January 15, 1989.
Authors will be notified by March 15,
1989. Camera ready full papers are due by April 29, 1989.
The abstracts should contain: Title,
Authors, Authors' affiliation, Keywords, Main Text, References, and Authors'
Biography. All accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings.
Potential contributors are encouraged to give advance notice of their intention
to submit a paper.
