PSIVT provides a forum for presenting and exploring the newest research and development in image and video technology by discussing the possibilities and directions in this field, and a place where both academic research and industrial activities are presented and meet for mutual benefit. It invites researchers, artists, developers, educators, performers, and practitioners of image and video technology from the Pacific Rim and around the world.

High-quality contributions from prospective authors are solicited in all aspects of image and video technology including, but not limited to:

◦Imaging and Graphics Hardware and Visualization
◦Image/Video Coding and Transmission
◦Image/Video Processing and Analysis
◦Image/Video Retrieval and Scene Understanding
◦Applications of Image and Video Technology
◦Biomedical Image Processing and Analysis
◦Computational Photography and Arts
◦Computer and Robot Vision
◦Pattern Recognition
◦Video Surveillance
The PSIVT 2013 proceedings are planned to be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture-Notes-in-Computer-Science series.

All papers will be subject to a double-blind review process which will be carried out by at least two experienced researchers in the field, supervised by area chairs, also including a brief rebuttal at the end of the decision process. (As a guide: Previous issues of PSIVT all had an acceptance rate of about 40 percent.) Details on paper submission will be available soon.
