GOAL OF THE WORKSHOP

The goal of the workshop is to share the potential of subspace methods with researchers working on various problems in computer vision, and to encourage interactions which could lead to further developments of subspace methods. The fundamental theories of subspace methods and their applications in computer vision will be discussed at the workshop.

SUBSPACE METHODS

Subspace methods are important for solving many theoretical problems in pattern recognition and computer vision. Also they have been widely used as a practical methodology in a large variety of real applications. Subspace methods have been studied intensively, in particular, in the field of character recognition, contributing to a number of commercial optical character recognition systems. During the last three decades, the area has become one of the most successful underpinnings of diverse applications such as classification, recognition, pose estimation, motion estimation. At the same time, there are many new and evolving research topics: nonlinear methods including kernel methods, manifold learning, subspace update and tracking.

PREVIOUSLY ORGANIZED WORKSHOPS

Prior to this workshop, we have successfully organized three related workshops: an international workshop on subspace methods, Subspace 2007 in conjunction with ACCV2007, and two Japanese workshops, Subspace 2006 and 2008. The number of attendees and submissions for these workshops demonstrate their success. Especially, the Proceedings of the Subspace2007 workshop have been downloaded more than 800 times from the workshop’s website from 38 different countries for the first six months. We believe that Subspace 2009 in conjunction with ICCV will stimulate fruitful discussions among the participants and provide novel ideas for future research in computer vision.

Publication

The workshop proceedings will be published as the ICCV main conference DVD.

The submitted papers will be included in the IEEE Digital Library.

Dual Submissions

By submitting a manuscript to Subspace 2009, the authors assert that it has not been previously published in substantially similar form. Furthermore, no paper which contains significant overlap with the contributions of this paper either has been or will be submitted during the Subspace 2009 review period to either a journal or a conference. For ICCV 2009 we allow dual submissions to ICCV 2009 workshops and the main conference. In case of acceptance, the author will have to decide where the paper should appear (main conference or workshop.

Submission Instruction

Paper format should be the same as ICCV2009, and page limit is 8 pages. Please refer the ICCV author guidelines and author kit available at ICCV website. Reviewing is double-blind: remove names and affiliations of authors as indicated by the ICCV author guidelines.
