The 20th International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC’25) will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, November 17-19, 2025 (at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino). ISVC provides a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments, and applications in visual computing. In particular, ISVC seeks papers contributing to the state of the art and practice in the four main areas of visual computing: (1) computer vision, (2) computer graphics, (2) visualization, and (4) virtual reality. Papers that span multiple areas are particularly encouraged. The symposium will consist of invited and contributed presentations, six keynote presentations, special tracks, and poster sessions covering all areas of visual computing.

*** Submission and Review Process ***

This is a fully referred symposium. Papers submitted to ISVC must not be currently under consideration for publication in another conference. Each submission will be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee (PC) using a “double-blind” review process to determine its appropriateness for acceptance and presentation (oral or poster) at ISVC. Therefore, submissions should not contain names or other information revealing the authors’ identity. Papers will be reviewed with an emphasis on the potential to contribute to the state of the art in the field. Selection criteria include accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of results, and presentation quality. Papers should be submitted in camera-ready format and their length should match that intended for final publication.

ChatGPT policy: ChatGPT can be used for proofreading assistance but NOT for manuscript writing, manufacturing of data, results, and arguments. Strong suspicion of violation of the above policy will result in automatically rejecting the submission.


*** Publication ***

The symposium's proceedings are published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Information on abstracting and indexing of the LNCS series can be found using the link below.

*** Special Issue ***

Authors of selected papers presented at ISVC’25 will be invited to submit an extended version of their work for expedited review and possible publication in a special issue on Advances in Visual Computing in the Machine Vision and Applications journal (to be confirmed) ISVC. The paper submission deadline is tentatively on April 15, 2026, with the publication of the special issue expected by the end of 2026.

*** Attendance ***

ISVC is a premier forum for presenting and discussing current research in visual computing. At least one author must attend and present the paper at the symposium. If no authors can attend the symposium and present their paper(s) due to unforeseen reasons, they should contact the steering committee chair to make alternative arrangements (i.e., recorded presentation or presentation by another attendee). Papers not presented at the symposium without a valid reason will be withdrawn from the symposium proceedings.
