International Conference on Perceptual Organization Call for Papers

The York University Centre for Vision Research

International Conference on Perceptual Organization

June 23-26, 2015

http://cvr.yorku.ca/conference2015

A principal challenge for both human and machine vision systems is to
integrate and organize the diversity of cues received from the
environment into the coherent global representations required to make
good decisions and take effective actions.  This conference brings
together an interdisciplinary roster of leading researchers in both
biological and computer vision to report and discuss the latest
research on this process of perceptual organization.

This three-day event offers a stellar lineup of invited international
speakers as well as an open poster session. The setting is relaxed
with plenty of time for informal discussion.

Call for Poster Abstracts

We are now accepting abstracts for an open poster session.  Dedicated
poster sessions will be scheduled and posters will remain up for
viewing and discussion for the duration of the conference.

Abstract submission and registration is now open – don’t miss
the early bird deadline!
