==========

VCIP 2025 [CfP]


The 2025 edition of the 
Visual Communications and Image Processing Conference (VCIP 2025)


Klagenfurt, Austria, 1-4 December 2025. 


Website: https://vcip2025.itec.aau.at


Introduction

==========

VCIP is the oldest conference in the field and one of the flagship
conferences of the IEEE CAS Visual Signal Processing and
Communications Technical Committee. Since 1986, VCIP has served as a
premier forum for the exchange of fundamental and applied research in
the field of visual communications and image processing. VCIP has a
long tradition of showcasing pioneering technologies in visual
communication and processing, and many landmark papers first appeared
in VCIP. VCIP 2025 will cover new technology frontiers and new use
cases, in the visual signal processing and communication areas, to
discuss and envision the future of both technology and
applications. VCIP 2025 inherits the tradition of previous conferences
in providing a fertile ground for researchers, engineers, and
professionals from academia and industry around the
world. High-quality papers will be recommended to IEEE Transaction
CSVT for journal extension.
