SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

Art analysis is a fertile field of application for Computer Vision
techniques. It is an interdisciplinary research in nature, which
benefits the computer vision community with new tools and new
problems, and the art history community with automatic tools for
assisting in the art analysis.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leading researches
in the fields of computer vision, machine learning, and multimedia
information retrieval, with a special emphasis on art and cultural
heritage applications. The ultimate goal of this workshop is to
promote interdisciplinary collaborations and expose the audience to
the problems and results in art analysis using the state-of-the-art
techniques developed in the aforementioned fields.

This one day workshop, held in conjunction with ECCV 2012, calls for
high-quality, previously unpublished, works related to Computer Vision
and related areas, which focus on art objects and art analysis.
Submissions should conform to the ECCV 2012 proceedings style, and
have a maximum of 10 pages. Papers must be submitted online through
the ECCV 2012 CMT submission system and double-blind peer-reviewed by
at least two reviewers.
