The British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC) is one of the major international conferences on computer vision and related areas. It is organised by the British Machine Vision Association (BMVA). The 32nd BMVC will now be a virtual event held online from 22nd—25th November 2021. Authors are invited to submit full-length high-quality papers in image processing, computer vision, machine learning and related areas for BMVC 2021. Submitted papers will be refereed on their originality, presentation, empirical results, and quality of evaluation. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published and DOI-indexed by BMVA. Past proceedings can be found online here. Prospective authors can see the 2020 edition as an example.

Selected best papers will be invited to a special issue of the International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV).

Please note that BMVC is a single-track meeting with oral and poster presentations and will include four keynote presentations. The abstract deadline is Friday 18th June 2021 and the paper submission deadline is Friday 25th June 2021 (both 23:59, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)). Submission instructions will be available on the BMVC 2021 website.
