Call for Papers

IMPROVE is a comprehensive conference of academic and technical
nature, focused on image processing and computer vision scientific
advances and 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.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors can submit their work in the form of a complete paper or an
abstract, but please note that accepted abstracts are presented but
not published in the proceedings of the conference. 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.
