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 27th BMVC will be held at the University of York, 19th-22nd September 2016.

Authors are invited to submit full-length high-quality papers in image processing and machine vision. Papers covering theory and/or application areas of computer vision are invited for submission. Submitted papers will be refereed on their originality, presentation, empirical results, and quality of evaluation.

All papers will be reviewed *doubly blind*, normally by three members of our international programme committee. Please note that BMVC is a single track meeting with oral and poster presentations and will include two keynote presentations and one tutorial.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

Statistics and machine learning for vision
Stereo, calibration, geometric modelling and processing
Face and gesture recognition
Early and biologically inspired vision
Motion, flow and tracking
Segmentation and grouping
Model-based vision
Image processing techniques and methods
Texture, shape and colour
Video analysis
Document processing and recognition
Vision for quality assurance, medical diagnosis, etc.
Vision for visualization, interaction, and graphics
Object detection and recognition
Shape-from-X
Video analysis and event recognition
Illumination and reflectance

Accepted papers will be included the conference proceedings published and DOI indexed by BMVA. Past proceedings can be found online here. Prospective authors can have a look at the 2014 edition, as an example.
