The objective of the QCAV'2011 conference is to provide a forum for researchers, engineers, suppliers and users of vision systems to present and discuss the state-of-the-art in machine and computer vision and image processing techniques, with an emphasis on quality control.

The conference will also offer an opportunity to fill the gap between artificial vision and image processing community and people working in application fields.

The presentations will include contributed papers, poster sessions and invited speakers for state-of the-art or key-note talks in specialized subjects related to the conference topics. Papers describing original work concerning the theoretical and experimental aspects of image processing are invited. The International Scientific Committee invites authors to submit original unpublished paper proposals.

Papers describing novel theoretical, experimental, and applied work in image processing and computer vision for quality control are welcomed. Papers are solicited from, but not limited to, the following categories:

* Image Acquisition, Vision Sensors and Systems
* Optical, Electron, X-ray, Ultrasound and other Imaging Modalities
* Non-destructive Testing and Metrology
* Image Processing and Segmentation
* Image Interpretation and Pattern Recognition
* Image Analysis and Geometrical Description
* Process Automation, Characterization and Control
