may invite expertise researches to have invited keynotes during their
session and will participate in the review process of the submitted
contributions.

Proposals for Thematic Sessions should be submitted by email to the
conference co-chairs ( <mailto:tavares@fe.up.pt> tavares@fe.up.pt,
<mailto:rnatal@fe.up.pt> rnatal@fe.up.pt).

 

Confirmed Thematic Sessions (not yet closed)

 

- Computer Vision in Robotics

- Texture Image Analysis: Methods and Applications

- Processing and Classification of Satellite Imagery

- Small Animal Imaging: Trends and Techniques

- Imaging of Biological Flows: Trends and Challenges

 

Publications

 

The proceedings book is going to be published by the Taylor & Francis Group,
as happened with VipIMAGE 2007 (ISBN: 9780415457774).

The organizers will encourage the submission of extended versions of the
accepted papers to related International Journals; in particular for special
issues dedicated to the conference.

One possibility already confirmed is the International Journal for
Computational Vision and Biomechanics (IJCV&B).

As what happened with VipIMAGE 2007, the organizers are going to edit a book
to be published by SPRINGER (ISBN: 978-1-4020-9085-1), under the
Computational Methods in Applied Sciences series, with invited works from
the most important ones presented in the conference.

 

Awards

 

"best paper award" and "best student paper award" are going to be given to
the author(s) of two papers presented at the conference, selected by the
Organizing Committee based on the best combined marks from the Scientific
Committee and Session Chairs.

 

Important dates

 

• Submission of extended abstracts: April 6, 2009 (extended)

• Lectures and Final Papers: June 15, 2009

 

We are looking forward to see you in Porto next October.

 

Kind regards,
