Acivs 2020

Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems
Feb. 11-15, 2020

Auckland, New Zealand

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acivs 2020 is a conference focusing on techniques for building adaptive,
intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems. Acivs 2020 consists of four
days of lecture sessions, both regular (25 minutes) and invited
presentations, and poster sessions. The proceedings of Acivs 2020 should
be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series and are listed in the ISI proceedings index. Official Springer
records show that the conference reaches a wide audience: the proceedings
covering the period 2005-2018 have been donwloaded almost a million times
already.

Acivs 2020 will also feature several social activities (included in the
registration fee), including an opening reception, a conference dinner and
a cultural activity.

Best student paper award

Thanks to sponsorship by LNCS, Acivs 2020 will feature a best student
paper award. Details will be announced later.

Invited speakers

Acivs 2020 will feature several invited talks, to be announded later.

Conference topics

Papers must show original and high-quality work, from basic research to
pre-industrial application. Both classical research papers and application
papers are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Image and Video Processing: preprocessing (scanning, sampling,
quantization, …), compressed sensing, filtering, restoration and
enhancement, color processing; including applications like
multi-camera systems and sensor networks.
* Multidimensional Image Processing: optical, infrared, radar, sonar,
polarimetric, multispectral, hyperspectral and other types of images
and videos; including applications like remote sensing and medical
applications.
* Image and Video Analysis: segmentation, computational photography,
tracking, pattern analysis, computer vision, early and biologically
inspired vision, information geometry, image and video databases,
search and retrieval, multimodality, authentication and watermarking;
including applications like events supervision, surveillance
applications, biometrics and forensics, robotics, vision-based
guidance and navigation.
* Image and Video Coding: coding, quality metrics, image and video
protection; including applications like multimedia applications,
mobile imaging, augmented reality.


Applications of interest include, but are not limited to:

* remote sensing, geology, agriculture;
* robotics, drones;
* medical applications;
* multi-camera systems, sensor networks, events supervision,
surveillance applications, biometrics and forensics;
* intelligent transportation systems, vision-based guidance and
navigation;
* multimedia applications, mobile imaging, augmented reality.

Venue

The conference will take place in Auckland, New Zealand on Feb. 11-15,
2020.

Paper submission and review process

Prospective authors should prepare a full paper and submit it
electronically. The paper should consist of 8-12 pages in A4 format and
should conform to the style guidelines outlined on the Acivs 2020
website.

LaTeX style sheets, MSWord templates and more detailed information on
the submission process can be found on the Acivs 2020 website
(http://acivs.org/acivs2020/). It is absolutely essential that
submitted papers are based on the provided templates. Accepted papers
which do not satisfy the requirements or which cannot be processed without
changes will be returned to the authors and may not be published.
All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the Program
Committee; additional reviewers will be consulted if needed. The papers
should provide sufficient background information and should clearly
indicate the original contribution. They should state and discuss the main
results and provide adequate references. Paper submission implies that one
of the authors will present the paper if it is accepted. Duplicate
submissions to other conferences, or modified copies of earlier papers are
not acceptable.

Submission implies the authors have obtained all IP clearance from their
employers, eg. the submitted material contains nothing that is
commercial-in-confidence.

Conference proceedings

The proceedings of Acivs 2020 should be published by Springer in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. LNCS is published, in
parallel to the printed books, in full-text electronic form via Springer's
internet platform (http://www.springerlink.com).
