Vision has always played an essential role in everyday human activities. In the past, images were, today they are, and in the future they will continue to be important information carriers. Recent advances in digital imaging and computer hardware technology have led to an explosion in the use of computer vision in a variety of scientific and engineering applications. These applications often arise from the interactions between fundamental scientific research and development of new and high-standard technologies.

This symposium aims to provide an opportunity for researchers to describe scientific achievements and long-term research challenges, point to new research directions, or brave perspectives that pave the way to innovation. Subjects of interest are video and image processing, and aspects of related disciplines (such as machine learning, computer graphics, biological vision, mathematics) which illuminate the state of the art in video and image processing.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following areas:

- Motion Estimation
- Biometrics
- Video Surveillance
- Deep Learning
- Image Processing
- Pattern Recognition
- Bio-medical Image
