The Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation (SSIAI) is a biennial conference dedicated to all aspects of computational analysis and interpretation of images and video. SSIAI brings together researchers and practitioners in academia, industry, and government to share and discuss the latest advances in this field. SSIAI 2018 will be held at Harrah’s Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV, U.S.A. The symposium seeks original contributions reporting novel research directions, results, and applications.

Paper Submission:

Submit a paper (4 pages max. including figures and references) in double-column IEEE conference format. Submission will be electronic using the PDF format. Accepted full papers will be of the same format with a four-page limit. For further details, please visit www.ssiai.org .

Each accepted paper will be published in the conference proceedings, provided at least one author registers in advance at the non-student rate and gives a presentation at the conference. An author’s non-student registration may be applied to up to three papers by that author.
