The 11th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems
(ICVS 2017) aims to gather researchers and developers from both
academia and industry worldwide and to explore the state of the art
and the prospects of vision systems. The perspective on systems
offers a unique opportunity for sharing competence in application
development and for identifying application-driven research
questions.
Shenzhen was a market town of 30,000 people on the route of the
Kowloon–Canton Railway. That changed in 1979 when Shenzhen was
promoted to city-status and in 1980 designated China’s first Special
Economic Zone. Shenzhen was one of the fastest-growing cities in
the world during the 1990s and the 2000s. Shenzhen is a now major
financial center in southern China. The city is home to the Shenzhen
Stock Exchange as well as the headquarters of numerous high-tech
companies.
ICVS2017 is her first time in Asian and promises to be a great event
for all participants, with excellent technical and social programs in
the inspiring city.
