Computer Vision and Image Processing Symposium

Although recent research of visual computing technology has witnessed great development on computer vision and image processing, the information explosion of daily released image/video data requires more intelligent computing scheme to handle such massive data. At the same time, the visual tasks from low-level to high-level vision confront many challenges, such as powerful and robust description for visual features; modeling diverse and complex visual patterns; and the designment of fast and efficient algorithm for real applications. The Symposium of Computer Vision and Image Processing is aiming at providing a platform to bring the new developments and original work, as well as possible emerging techniques with a potential to further improve the performance, or to lead to new algorithms and applications for all vision tasks. This symposium targets a mixed audience of researchers from several communities, such as computer vision, pattern recognition, image/video processing, information extraction/retrieval, data mining and machine learning, etc. Both theoretical contributions and application validations are welcome.
