5th International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications (VISAPP)
 
Venue:
 
Angers-France
 
 
Event Date: 17-21 May, 2010
 
The 5th International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and
Applications (VISAPP) aims at becoming a major point of contact
between research scientists, engineers and practitioners on the area
of computer vision applications systems. Four simultaneous tracks will
be held, covering all different aspects related to computer vision,
from Image Formation to Image Understanding including Motion Analysis
and Stereo Vision.

The conference program will include a number of Keynote Lectures to be
delivered by distinguished world-class researchers. The list of
currently confirmed invited speakers can be found at the conference
web site (http://www.visigrapp.org/Keynote_Speakers.htm).

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All
accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under
an ISBN reference, on paper and CD-ROM support. The proceedings will
be indexed by several major international indexers, including INSPEC,
DBLP and Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, and we
are awaiting the confirmation of indexation by EI.  Additionaly, a
selection of the best papers of the conference will be published in a
book, by Springer-Verlag. Best paper awards will be distributed during
the conference.

All accepted papers will be also published in the INSTICC's Digital
Library, which will be made available shortly.

Workshops and special sessions are also invited. If you wish to
propose a workshop or a special session, for example based on the
results of a specific research project, please send a proposal to the
VISAPP secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will
benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including
secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a
valid idea.
