| | Objectives |
 | | The ability to recognize living creatures and inanimate objects in photographs or video clips is a critical enabling technology for a wide range of applications including defense, health care, human-computer interaction, image retrieval and data mining, industrial and personal robotics, manufacturing, scientific image analysis, space exploration, surveillance and security, and transportation. |
 | | The tenet of this workshop is that fundamental new advances in automated object recognition can be achieved by integrating the sophisticated geometric and physical image formation models developed in the computer vision community with the effective models of data distribution and classification procedures developed in the statistical learning theory and theoretical computer science communities. |
 | | Its goals are (1) to promote the creation of an international object recognition community, with common datasets and evaluation procedures, (2) to map the state of the art and identify the main open problems and opportunities for synergistic research, and (3) to articulate the industrial and societal needs and opportunities for object recognition research worldwide. |
