A -- DARPA and AFRL 3D Data Workshop

The Information Exploitation Office (IXO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Sensors Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/SN) announce a 3D Data Workshop to be held at Solers, Inc., 3811 Fairfax Drive, Suite 350, Arlington, VA 22203 on 23 May 2002. The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum for the exchange of information between researchers, engineers, and practitioners in the areas of 3D data collection and synthetic 3D data generation. The focus of the workshop will be: sensors that produce 3D data and their capabilities, signal processing methods to assemble 3D data from 1D or 2D data, ways to synthetically generate 3D data, and 3D data formats. This workshop will be conducted at the unclassified level. However, attendance will be restricted to US persons only as defined by 22 CFR, Parts 120-130 (http://www.pmdtc.org/reference.htm). Additionally, attendees must submit a 500-word white paper on current and state-of-the-art capabilities, methodologies and technologies for collecting real 3D data and generating synthetic 3D data, and/or possible techniques and methodologies for improving the practicality of synthetic 3D data. Submissions may be made at http://www.solers.com/3Dworkshop. Some white papers will be chosen for a brief presentation. This notice is not a solicitation for proposals, and no funding is anticipated in response to participation. No white papers will be funded as a result of this workshop. Cutoff date for paper submission and registration is May 10, 2002. Advanced registration is required. Registrations on the day of the workshop will NOT be accepted. Seating is limited. There will be a registration fee of $15.00 per person. The cost of attending this workshop is not an allowable direct charge to any government contract. Further registration information (agenda, registration, directions, local lodging, list of attendees) will be available at http://www.solers.com/3Dworkshop. Any questions not answered on the website may be directed to Capt Jason Gregga, 937-255-1115 x 3320 or [email protected].
