Scope:
The International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications aims at becoming a major point of contact between researchers, engineers and practitioners on the area of computer vision application systems. 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.
