The 8th International Conference on Energy Minimization in Computer
Vision and Pattern Recognition (EMMCVPR)July 25-27, 2011
Saint Petersburg, Russia, http://emmcvpr11.csd.uwo.ca/
Call for Papers: Energy Minimization Methods have become an established
computational paradigm in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition.
EMMCVPR is a regular bi-annual international conference dedicated to advancing
the state-of-the-art regarding development and applications of energy minimization
methods. As with the previous editions, the proceedings will be published
by Springer in the Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series. The size
of the paper will be limited to 14 pages. The scientific program of EMMCVPR
2011 will include the presentation of invited plenary talks and contributed
research papers. For more information check out the conference web site at
