Call for Papers

2nd Workshop on Human-inspired Computer Vision

19th or 20th October 2025

ICCV 2025, Honolulu, Hawaii
https://sites.google.com/view/hcvworkshop2025

****************************************************************

AIMS AND SCOPE

The goal of the Human-inspired Computer Vision workshop is to link and
disseminate parallel findings in the fields of neuroscience,
psychology, cognitive science, and computer vision, to inform the
development of human-inspired computational models capable of solving
visual tasks in a human-like fashion. Recent approaches to computer
vision can achieve high performance on many tasks. However, the
relationship between machine vision and human vision remains
unclear. Investigating such a relationship is timely and important for
two reasons: improving machine vision and understanding/enhancing
human vision.

Improving machine vision: Insights from psychology, cognitive science,
and neuroscience can inform current research on computer vision in a
human-like fashion. Such an approach can help identify and tackle gaps
between humans and machines, in popular research areas that can be
investigated from both perspectives.

Understanding and enhancing human vision: Modeling human vision with
inspiration from biology is a hot topic in the context of
computational cognitive neuroscience, and it can lead to interpretable
computer vision models that serve as useful tools to explain
neuroscientific and cognitive observations, and to deepen our
understanding of the human brain and developmental mechanisms.

TOPICS

We encourage the submission of research outcomes at the intersection
of computer vision with neuroscience and cognitive science, as well as
new dataset benchmarks related to the topics listed below.

Computational Vision

    Biomimetic vision systems

    Building on visual representations (e.g., internal motivation,
    intention, and curiosity)

    Cortical networks of visual recognition

    Neuronal dynamics and image processing

    Probabilistic inference and Bayesian priors in visual perception

    Computational models of visual attention and applications

    Automated image aesthetics

    Multi-modal sensory fusion and modulation for vision

    Visual motion processing and human tracking behavior

Biological Vision

    Bioinspired vision sensing

    Retinal processing: from biology to models and applications

Cognitive Aspects

    Adaptive systems

    Cognitive architectures

    Memory modulation in vision

    Understanding and modeling vision in a social context

    Planning and motor control for vision

IMPORTANT DATES

Regular Paper Submission (Archival Track): June 27th, 2025 (23:59 AoE)

Extended Abstract Submission (Non-Archival Track): August 18th, 2025

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The workshop includes an archival track and a non-archival track.
Accepted papers of both tracks will be presented during the workshop.

Papers must be prepared according to the ICCV 2025 template and
submitted as PDF documents, following ICCV Submission Policies.

At the time of submission, authors must indicate to which track the
paper is submitted.

Papers accepted to the archival track will also be published in the
ICCV workshop proceedings.
