Dear Image and Multidimensional Signal Processor,
The Ninth IMDSP Workshop will be held in Belize on March 3-6, 1996. In
addition to providing an intimate setting for interaction with your IMDSP
colleagues, Belize offers unparalleled opportunities for recreation,
ranging from snorkling on coral reefs to exploration of spectacular rain
forests and Mayan ruins. Belize is a British Commonwealth country with a
stable, democratic government. Most Belizeans speak English.
I am writing to encourage you to submit a paper to this workshop. In
response to complaints that our original submission date came at a very
difficult time, we have extended the deadline to October 1, 1995. In
addition, for those who are concerned about the difficulty and cost of
reaching Belize, we have the following information:
Economy airfare from continental U.S. (Saturday stay required)
$650
Lodging (Sunday - Tuesday, including all meals, based on single occupancy)
$350
Approximate registration
$300
Total cost
$1300
Belize City is approximately a 2 hour flight from Los Angeles, Houston, or
Miami.
The Call for Papers follows. More information about the workshop and
Belize can be found at our web site. The URL is:

Don't miss this unique event. Plan to join us in Belize in March.
Sincerely,
Jan Allebach and Jelena Kovacevic, General Co-chairs

Ninth IMDSP Workshop
March 3-6, 1996. Radisson Hotel

The Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing Technical Committee of the
IEEE Signal Processing Society has established a tradition of biennial
workshops that have been intellectually stimulating and held in interesting
places. The Ninth Workshop, to be held in cooperation with the Society for
Imaging Sceince and Technology continues this tradition. It will be held in
Belize which is located on the Caribbean Sea directly south of the Yucatan
Peninsula and east of Guatemala, just two hours by plane from Miami. Belize
has a subtropical climate. The workshop will take place in the dry season
when temperatures will average 22C. There are beautiful Mayan ruins in
Belize and the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. The workshop
will be held in Belize City at the Radisson Hotel.
The theme of the workshop is ``Model-Based Methods in Imaging: From Content
to User.'' This was partly motivated by the NSF-sponsored workshop on
Future Directions in Signal Processing that was held in Keystone, Colorado
in November 1991. At this workshop, the task group in the IMDSP area
identified a need for more emphasis on model-based methods, including
models for signal content and models for the human viewer. In addition, it
was felt that there was a need for more work on image quality metrics. It
is the intention of this workshop to address these topics:
Physics-based models
Multiresolution models
Models for the human visual system
Color models
Image and video quality metrics
Image and video compression
Image and video analysis
Image rendering for printing and display
Color imaging
Radar imaging
Medical imaging
Participation in the workshop will be both by invitation and application.
Prospective attendees will submit a 2-page summary in final form. If the
paper is accepted the summary will appear in the workshop digest as
submitted. Authors should obtain the author's kit via anonymous ftp to
skynet.ecn.purdue.edu (128.46.154.48) in the directory /pub/dist/imdsp96.
The author's kit provides complete information relative to the submission
process. It is the intention of the Committee to conduct all communication
with authors electronically. Questions should be directed to
