Call for Papers


VISAPP is sponsored by INSTICC – Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication
Scope

The International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications aims at becoming a major point of contact between researchers, engineers and practitioners on the area of computer vision application systems. Three simultaneous tracks will be held, covering all different aspects related to computer vision, from Image Analysis to Image Understanding, including Motion Analysis and Stereo Vision.
We welcome papers describing original work in any of the areas listed below. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques as well as general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Paper acceptance will be based on quality, relevance to the conference themes and originality. The conference program will include both oral and poster presentations.
Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as well as technical tutorials, dedicated to technical/scientific topics, are also envisaged. Companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in lecturing a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat.

Publications

All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).
A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book.
The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI.

Venue

In Portugal, at the marvelous Algarve, you may find the best place to stay, the Tivoli Victoria Hotel Vilamoura.
Overlooking one of Europe's best golf courses, this elegant resort is just a short drive from Vilamoura's marina and impresses with its countless leisure facilities. The Tivoli Victoria, is an impressive hotel located in the upmarket beach resort of Vilamoura.
