Report from the first international workshop on computer vision meets databases - CVDB 2004

The presentations and discussions of the First International Workshop on Computer Vision meets Databases, or CVDB 2004, which was held in Paris, France, on 13 June 2004, were reported. The workshop was co-located with the 2004 ACM SIG-MOD/PODS conferences and was attended by forty-two participants from all over the world. The goal of the workshop was to bridge the gap between the database and computer vision communities and to define some research directions that can benefit both communities. The database tutorial 'Nearest Neighbor Search on Multimedia Indexing Structures' was presented by Thomas Seidl, professor of Computer Science at RWTH Aachen Univesity, Germany.
