The goal of this conference is to explore the role of Third Oxford Conference on human vision, perception, and cognition in the design,

analysis, and use of computer-based image and data systems. This is the 10th anniversary of this conference. Over The Council for Optical Radiation Measurement (CORM) the years, it has brought together researchers from a wide of the United States and the Ultra Violet Spectrometry variety of disciplines, from all over the world, for a rich Group (UVSG) of the United Kingdom are co-sponsoring and lively exchange of ideas. This dialogue is based on the Third Oxford Conference on Optical Spectrometry at the growing understanding that the human observer is a the Royal Holloway College of the University of London fundamental key to the advancement of image systems, (Egham, Surrey) from June 28 to July 2, 1998.
