Special Sessions

Computer Graphics for Entertainment

Games are driving graphics hardware and software development, and visual effects movies are major showcases for both graphics and computer vision algorithms. This special session is particularly appropriate considering the IVCNZ conference location this year -- Wellington is home to a strong digital entertainment industry, including games company PikPok, and Weta Digital, which has done visual effects for numerous major movies including Avatar and The Hobbit. Victoria University has also recently launched a new programme in computer graphics in collaboration with these companies. Participants from industry are very welcome to present in this session. Authors are encouraged to submit original unpublished research and demonstrations to this Special Session.

Evolutionary Computer Vision

This proposed special session aims to bring together theories, methods and applications of evolutionary computation to all aspects of computer vision and image processing problems. The evolutionary computation techniques here include Evolutionary Algorithms (such as genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolutionary strategy and evolutionary programming), Swarm Intelligence (such as particle swarm optimisation, ant colony optimisation, and differential evolution), and other approaches such as learning classifier systems, harmony search, and artificial immune systems. Cross-fertilization of evolutionary computation and other techniques such as neural networks and fuzzy systems is also encouraged. Authors are invited to submit their original and unpublished work to this Special Session.
