Acivs 2018 is a conference focusing on techniques for building adaptive, intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems. Acivs 2018 consists of four days of lecture sessions, both regular (25 minutes) and invited presentations, and poster sessions. The proceedings of Acivs 2018 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and are listed in the ISI proceedings index. Official Springer records show that the conference reaches a wide audience: the proceedings convering the period 2005-2016 have been donwloaded over half a million times already.

A special issue of the international journal Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering will be devoted to a selected number of extended and updated versions of the most interesting/innovative papers presented at the Acivs 2018 conference. The submitted journal paper must have at least 1/3 of new or changed content.

Acivs 2018 will also feature several social activities (included in the registration fee), including an opening reception, a conference dinner and a cultural acivitity. In addtion Acivs 2018 will be organized at the same date and place as the ICFSP conference, and will provide a good opportunity to attend both events.

The conference fee includes the social program (conference dinner, opening reception, and cultural activities), coffee breaks, daily lunches and a copy of the proceedings. The registration fees (including VAT) are 250€ for students, 400€ for IEEE members and 450€ for all other participants). In addition, registration to ACIVS grants a free admission to the ICFSP conference.

In case one presenter presents multiple papers at the conference, one registration fee suffices. However an additional fee of 200€ will be charged for each additional paper.

Invited speakers

Acivs 2018 will feature several invited talks, to be announded later.

Conference topics

Papers must show original and high-quality work, from basic research to pre-industrial application. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Image and Video Processing: preprocessing (scanning, sampling, quantization, …), compressed sensing, filtering, restoration and enhancement, color processing; including applications like multi-camera systems and sensor networks.
    Multidimensional Image Processing: optical, infrared, radar, sonar, polarimetric, multispectral, hyperspectral and other types of images and videos; including applications like remote sensing and medical applications.
    Image and Video Analysis: segmentation, computational photography, tracking, pattern analysis, computer vision, early and biologically inspired vision, information geometry, image and video databases, search and retrieval, multimodality, authentication and watermarking; including applications like events supervision, surveillance applications, biometrics and forensics, robotics, vision-based guidance and navigation.
    Image and Video Coding: coding, quality metrics, image and video protection; including applications like multimedia applications, mobile imaging, augmented reality.

Both classical research papers and application papers are welcome.
