The workshop was held in conjunction with the CVPR 2009, Miami and is now over. The program of the workshop is available here.

The purpose of the workshop is to encourage researchers to present their latest developments in local feature extraction for the general use or for specific applications. There are still many challenges left for a variety of problem classes. In particular, there is a need for diverse measurements from image and video, robust to large changes of viewing conditions, extreme photometric variations, occlusion, background clutter as well as intra-class variations.

Scope:
Topics of interest include all aspects of, and areas related to, the following:

• Local image and spatio-temporal video descriptors
• Interest point and region detectors
• Selection of salient or edge-based features
• Efficient implementations of detectors and descriptors
• Measures, datasets and protocols for performance evaluations
• Methods for geometric invariance of feature detectors
• Novel applications for local feature based representations
• Local features for 3D scenes
