Please join us in Beijing for Photonics Asia 2007!

Photonics Asia 2007 Photonics and optical technologies are becoming increasingly important in health General Chairs care and medicine, environment and energy, manufacturing, information systems and communications, display, defense and aerospace, entertainment, etc. Many Asian countries are investing heavily in photonics technology with exciting new discoveries and new products. Asia photonics markets are dynamic and expanding rapidly. For example, there are at least eight optics and photonics valleys in China, including the Wuhan Optics Valley, Beijing-Tongzhou Optomechanical Technology Enterprise zone, Changchun Photonics Cluster, Guangdong Photonics Cluster, Shanghai Optoelectronics Base, Xian Optoelectronics Campus, Zhejiang Optoelectronics Development Zone, Brian Culshaw, Chongqing Photonics Campus. 2007 SPIE President, University of Strathclyde (UK) Photonics Asia intends to be the must-attend event for the global photonics community who need to keep up with what is happening in Asia optics and photonics industry, especially the dynamic Chinese optics and photonics industry, and develop new partnerships and new markets. It will provide a unique forum for the reporting and review of new developments in photonics and optoelectronics ranging from material and devices to advanced systems and applications. Cutting-edge technologies, applications, product announcement and demonstration, market analysis and investment opportunities will be discussed in various conference sections and products exhibition. The Bingkun Zhou, conference will include a plenary session, parallel technical sessions, panel COS President, Tsinghua University (China) discussions, and product exhibition. Various exciting social programs are also planned. You are encouraged to submit your abstract and paper summary to the following conferences and related topics. All accepted papers (oral or poster) will be published in SPIE Proceedings reviewed by Photonics Asia 2007 conference chairs and program committees.

It has led to the creation of large scale databases of multimedia or multi-modal data in general. Such databases and data require effective methods and paradigms to browse, share, and search for audio-visual content. They are finding ready applications in a wide range of fields such as advertising and marketing, education and training, entertainment, medicine, surveillance, wearable computing, biometrics, and remote sensing. Because of the very nature of multimedia data, new and innovative methods are called for in modeling, processing, organizing, and indexing of this data for efficient management, access and delivery of the content. The aim of this conference is to bring
