ACIVS 2011 - ACIVS 2011 : Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems

As was the case for the previous editions of this conference, we expect the proceedings of Acivs 2011 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (approval pending).
Acivs 2011 is a conference focusing on techniques for building adaptive, intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems. Acivs 2011 consists of four days of lecture sessions, both regular (25 mns) and invited presentations, poster sessions. The proceedings of Acivs 2011 will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and are listed in the ISI proceedings index. Participants on Acivs 2011 will be able to attend the technical sessions of the ICDSC conference which will be held at the same location in the same week.
Acivs 2011 will also feature a conference dinner, and other social activities. The social activities will be detailed later.
The conference fee includes the social program (conference dinner, opening reception, and cultural activities), coffee breaks, daily lunches and a hard-copy of the proceedings.
Acivs 2011 will be co-located with the International Conference on Distributed Camera Systems (ICDSC 2011). Attendance to both conferences is possible by subscribing to one.
Invited speakers
Acivs 2011 will feature a number of invited talks, which will be announced later.
Conference topics include (but are not limited to)
Vision systems, including multi-camera systems
Image and Video Processing (linear/non-linear filtering and enhancement, restoration, segmentation, wavelets and multiresolution, Markovian techniques, color processing, modeling, analysis, interpolation and spatial transforms, motion, fractals and multifractals, structure from motion, information geometry)
Pattern Analysis (shape analysis, data and image fusion, pattern matching, neural nets, learning, grammatical techniques) and Content-Based Image Retrieval
Remote Sensing (techniques for filtering, enhancing, compressing, displaying and analyzing optical, infrared, radar, multi- and hyperspectral airborne and spaceborne images)
Still Image and Video Coding and Transmission (still image/video coding, model-based coding, synthetic/natural hybrid coding, quality metrics, image and video protection, image and video databases, image search and sorting, video indexing, multimedia applications)
System Architecture and Performance Evaluation (implementation of algorithms, GPU implementation, benchmarking, evaluation criteria, algorithmic evaluation)
Both classical research papers and application papers are welcome.
Venue
The conference will take place in the Het Pand, Ghent, Belgium on Aug. 22-25 2011.
Paper submission and review process
Prospective authors should prepare a full paper and submit it electronically. The paper should consist of 8-12 pages in A4 format and should conform to the style guidelines outlined on the Acivs 2011 website.
Papers should be submitted in LaTeX format or MsWord format. However the use of MSWord is strongly discouraged since MSWord documents, especially those containing equations, often suffer from poor typesetting.
LaTeX style sheets, MSWord templates and more detailed information on the submission process can be found on the Acivs 2011 website (http://acivs.org/acivs2011/). It is absolutely essential that submitted papers are based on the provided templates. Accepted papers which do not satisfy the requirements or which cannot be processed without changes will be returned to the authors and may not be published.
All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the Program Committee; additional reviewers will be consulted if needed. The papers should provide sufficient background information and should clearly indicate the original contribution. They should state and discuss the main results and provide adequate references. Paper submission implies that one of the authors will present the paper if it is accepted. Duplicate submissions to other conferences, or modified copies of earlier papers are not acceptable.
Submission implies the authors have obtained all IP clearance from their employers, eg. the submitted material contains nothing that is commercial-in-confidence.
Conference proceedings
The proceedings of Acivs 2011 will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. LNCS is published, in parallel to the printed books, in full-text electronic form via Springer Verlag's internet platform (http://www.springerlink.com).
