Acivs 2016 is a conference focusing on techniques for building adaptive,
intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems. Acivs 2016 consists of four
days of lecture sessions, both regular (25 mns) and invited presentations,
and poster sessions. The proceedings of Acivs 2016 will be published by
Springer (approval pending) in the [10]Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series and are listed in the ISI proceedings index.

Acivs 2016 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
copy of the proceedings.

Invited speakers

Acivs 2016 will feature a number of invited talks, which will be announced
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.
* 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.

Venue

The conference will take place in the Museo Storico Della Citta' Di Lecce,
Italy on Oct. 24-27, 2016.

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 [11]style guidelines outlined on the Acivs 2016
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 [12]more detailed information on
the submission process can be found on the Acivs 2016 website
([13]http://acivs.org/acivs2016/). 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 2016 will be published by Springer (approval
pending) in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. LNCS is
published, in parallel to the printed books, in full-text electronic form
via Springer's internet platform (http://www.springerlink.com).
