The last decades have witnessed amazing progress in the field of Computer
Vision, where state-of-art methodologies provide astonishing performance. At
the root of this growth is the conjunction between advances in computer
architecture and availability of large amounts of data, that have triggered
new lines of research while shedding renewed light on classical Computer
Vision tasks, considered intractable from a practical standpoint until a few
years ago. New high-performance computing platforms and paradigms (many-core
processors, FPGA accelerators, large-scale clusters, cloud computing) is
gaining momentum and becoming mainstream.
The interplay between algorithms/methods for Computer Vision and
high-performance computing architecture/programming thus continues to provide
interesting challenges to researchers in the field. The goal of this one-day
meeting is to provide a view on trends and issues in the use of modern
high-performance and large-scale computing platforms for the challenges of
Computer Vision.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

+ high-performance computing in image processing and computer vision
+ computer vision on large-scale/distributed/cloud platforms
+ machine/deep learning for visual data
+ GPUs and FPGAs for visual processing
+ energy-efficient computer vision

We encourage submissions from students, academics and practitioners in the
area. The work can be in progress or recently published, or it may describe
novel or prospective research. Anyone interested in presenting should submit
an abstract on the form that can be found at the link
