Five simultaneous tracks will be held, covering all different aspects related to computer vision: Image Formation and Preprocessing; Image and Video Analysis and Understanding; Motion, Tracking and Stereo Vision; and Applications and Services. VISAPP is part of VISIGRAPP, the 12th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications. Registration to VISAPP allows free access to all other VISIGRAPP conferences. CONFERENCE AREAS: Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them.
