POCV2001

The third workshop on Perceptual Organization in Computer Vision
( held before ICCV 2001)

Vancouver, Canada
July 8, 2001



As recognized by the Gestalt school, the importance of perceptual organization (PO) in human vision cannot be overestimated; it imparts both efficiency and robustness to the visual process. Since early demonstrations in the 1980s underscored its usefulness in object recognition, the computer vision community has seen various applications of PO in artificial vision systems such as in stereo matching, model indexing, contour completion, figure-ground segmentation, change detection, and more.

In this workshop we intend to bring together researchers focusing on different aspects of perceptual organization, share ideas, debate the role(s) of perceptual organization in artificial vision systems and outline future research directions.
