The International Conference on Image Processing and Vision Engineering Call for Papers

The International Conference on Image Processing and Vision Engineering
(IMPROVE) 2021
will be virtual from 28-30 April 2021.
The deadline for paper submission is January 26th.

IMPROVE is a comprehensive conference of academic and technical
nature, focused on image processing and computer vision practical
applications. It brings together researchers, engineers and
practitioners working either in fundamental areas of image processing,
developing new methods and techniques, including innovative machine
learning approaches, as well as multimedia communications technology
and applications of image processing and artificial vision in diverse
areas.

The conference accepts, after a strict peer review process, papers
describing original work in any of the areas listed below. Accepted
papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be
published in the proceedings of IMPROVE with an ISBN. Acceptance will
be based on quality, relevance and originality. There will be both
oral and poster sessions.

Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies as well as technical
tutorials, focusing on particular technical/scientific topics, are
also envisaged. All those interested in presenting product
demonstrations or methodologies are invited to contact the conference
secretariat.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors can submit their work in the form of a complete paper or an
abstract. Complete papers can be submitted as a Regular Paper,
representing completed and validated research, or as a Position Paper,
portraying a short report of work in progress or an arguable opinion
about an issue discussing ideas, facts, situations, methods,
procedures or results of scientific research focused on one of the
conference topic areas.

Authors should submit a paper in English, carefully checked for
correct grammar and spelling, addressing one or several of the
conference areas or topics. Each paper should clearly indicate the
nature of its technical/scientific contribution, and the problems,
domains or environments to which it is applicable. To facilitate the
double-blind paper evaluation method, authors are kindly requested to
produce and provide the paper WITHOUT any reference to any of the
authors, including the authors' personal details, the
acknowledgments section of the paper and any other reference that may
disclose the authors' identity.

When submitting a complete paper please note that only original papers
should be submitted. Authors are advised to read INSTICC's ethical
norms regarding plagiarism and self-plagiarism thoroughly before
submitting and must make sure that their submissions do not
substantially overlap work which has been published elsewhere or
simultaneously submitted to a journal or another conference with
proceedings. Papers that contain any form of plagiarism will be
rejected without reviews.

All papers must be submitted through the online submission platform
PRIMORIS and should follow the instructions and templates that can be
found under Guidelines and Templates. After the paper submission has
been successfully completed, authors will receive an automatic
confirmation e-mail.
