General Information

The Irish Machine Vision & Image Processing Conference is a forum for presentation of original research, both basic and applied, and exchange of ideas in a broad area of image processing, image communication, pattern recognition and machine vision.

The conference has developed from a highly successful Machine Vision and Image Processing Colloquium staged at the Queen's University Belfast in March 1996. The technical programme will comprise tutorials, plenary lectures, an exhibition, and contributed papers, which will be presented in either lecture and poster format.

IMVIP '97 will take place at Magee College, Derry, Northern Ireland, from Wednesday 10th to Saturday 13th September 1997.
