11th International Symposium on Multispectral Colour Science (MCS'09)
Please join us for the 11th International Symposium on Multispectral Colour Science MCS'09 as part of the 16th Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis, SCIA2009, in Oslo, Norway on June 15-18, 2009.
Submissions will be handled through SCIA’s electronic submission system. Important dates are December 7, 2008 for submissions of electronic abstracts, and December 14, 2008 for submission of full papers of up to 10 pages length. Detailed submission instructions will be posted on www.scia2009.org.
Many aspects of multispectral image acquisition, processing and reproduction have been extensively researched with regard to their applications in such fields as museum imaging, printing and medicine. This symposium is intended to review the current state of the art and address major challenges and future directions in multispectral colour science and imaging. Scientists and engineers from all over the world are invited to present the results of their research and to exchange knowledge, technology and ideas on various topics such as novel multispectral techniques, multispectral encoding, spectral-based image processing and the evaluation and applications of multispectral systems.
The MCS symposium was launched in 1999 as The International Symposium on Multispectral Imaging and Colour Reproduction for Digital Archives on the initiative of Professor Yoichi Miyake from Chiba University, Japan. Since 2001 the multispectral symposium has been organised by an informal consortium of researchers (www.multispectral.org), mostly incorporated into larger international conferences, for instance, more recently with AIC Colour 05 in Granada, Spain, IS&T/SPIE's Electronic Imaging Symposium 2006 in San José, California, and IS&T's 4th European Conference on Colour in Graphics, Imaging, and Vision, CGIV2008, in Terrassa, Spain. This year’s collaboration with the 16th Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis should prove beneficial by bringing together the colour and multispectral community, and the image processing and pattern recognition community.
Immediately following the symposium, on Friday June 19th, 2009, the Norwegian Color Research Laboratory invites you to attend Gjøvik Color Imaging Symposium 2009, at Gjøvik University College. More information will appear shortly on www.colorlab.no.
