The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leading researchers from Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, and Video Analysis within a single setting to share ideas, research results, and perspectives. We hope to facilitate, encourage, and accelerate the three disciplines that has been emerging during the last few years, as embodied, for example by Image Based Rendering (IBR) and MPEG-4/7.

The workshop will consist of about talks by about 20 leading experts in the three disciplines, one or two panels, and a poster session. The format of the sessions are designed to facilitate vigorous in depth discussions about the research ideas, directions, and strategic approaches to research and technology development. We also plan to allow enough off-session time to enable inter-personal interactions across the diverse community of workshop attendees.

In addition to the speakers, we expect to be able to accommodate about 200 participants. We encourage all participants to bring a short poster level presentation of their work relevant to the theme of the workshop.
