ACM CIVR2007 Conference: July 9-11, 2007

Overview

Image and video storage and retrieval continues to be one of the most exciting and fastest-growing research areas in the field of multimedia technology. However, opportunities for the exchange of ideas between different groups of researchers, and between researchers and potential users of image/video retrieval systems, are still limited. The International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval (CIVR) series of conferences was originally set up to illuminate the state of the art in image and video retrieval between researchers and practitioners throughout the world. This conference aims to provide an international forum for the discussion of challenges in the fields of image and video retrieval. CIVR2007 is seeking original high quality submissions addressing innovative research in the broad field of image and video retrieval. A unique feature of the conference is the high level of participation from practitioners. Applications papers and presentations suitable for a wide audience are therefore particularly welcome.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Content-based indexing, search, and retrieval of images & videos
Semantic-based indexing, search, and retrieval of images & videos
Affect-based indexing, search, and retrieval of images & videos
Advanced descriptors and similarity metrics for images, audio and video
Learning and relevance feedback in image/video retrieval
3D images and models
Ontologies for annotation and search of images and videos
Fusion of multimedia
Image/video summarization and visualization
Multimodal human computer interaction
Evaluation of image and video retrieval systems
Studies of information-seeking behavior among image/video users
Query models, paradigms, and languages for image/video retrieval
Database architectures for image/video retrieval
Novel image data management systems and applications
High performance image/video indexing algorithms
Image/video search and browsing on the Web
Retrieval from multimodal lifelogs
Applications in broadcast, web, cultural heritage, satellite, forensic, and (bio-)medical image and video collections
