MOTIVATION

A CVPR '96 panel discussion on the theme ``Teaching Resources for Image-Related Computation'' sparked a good deal of interest and confirmed a desire for a continuing discussion. The purpose of this workshop is to build on the CVPR '96 panel. In particular, we want to emphasize well-documented examples of courses, course modules, case studies, lab resources, and other teaching materials that could help faculty to improve the quality of courses that deal with image-related computation. Possible topics for presentation and discussion at the workshop include, but are not limited to --

comparison of texts for computer vision, image processing, pattern recognition, multimedia, virtual reality, ...
comparison of software packages and tools to support courses
sample syllabi of successful courses that have some unique approach
examples of successful courses geared toward majors outside CS/CE/EE
integrating image-related computation into traditional ``core'' courses (data structures, ...)
hardware issues (platforms, cameras, robots, etc.)
``don't do this'' case studies -- examples of appealing ideas that did not work
case studies from industry -- real projects that say something about the education that students should receive in image-related computation

PAPER SUBMISSION

Four copies of papers should be received no later than March 14, 1997 at the address --

Professor Kevin Bowyer

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

4202 East Fowler Avenue, ENB 118

Tampa Florida 33620-5399

The papers will be reviewed with an emphasis on content with potential to contribute toward improved teaching of image-related computation at the undergraduate level. All submissions should include the e-mail address of the corresponding author. Papers should not be longer than approximately 25 normal double-spaced pages. Accepted papers will become a part of the web site, so authors should be able to supply an html version of their paper. Papers may be submitted electronically as follows. First, use anonymous ftp to leave a tar file, including all of the files needed to browse an html version of the paper, in the incoming directory on figment.csee.usf.edu. Use the name of the first author as the name of the tar file. Second, after the tar file is ftp-ed, send an e-mail to kwb@csee.usf.edu to say that the file has been submitted. (Please read the instructions 'educ-ws-instructions' found in the incoming directory prior to submitting in electronic form.)
