Call for Technical Demonstration Submissions – VCIP2010

The 2010 Visual Communications and Image Processing conference (VCIP2010) will be held in Huang Shan, An Hui, China, 11-14 July 2010. Visual communication has become an important engineering area that attracts interdisciplinary research interest and has lead to significant developments in technology and science. This conference is designed as a forum for presenting important research results. We are currently seeking outstanding technical demo submissions.
Demonstrations will include leading edge work and work in progress in every area of visual communication or image processing technology and its implementation and applications. Submissions are encouraged in areas including image and video coding, visual communication techniques, image and video analysis, image and video synthesis and rendering. In particular, it is encouraged to submit demonstrations on practical systems and research prototypes in these areas.
Submissions will be peer-reviewed to ensure quality. Submitters are encouraged to provide videos where applicable to show the proposed demonstrations. Demonstrators will be provided with space, poser and networking (with special request). Participants will be required to provide their own computing equipment and any additional network, display, sensor, etc., hardware needed for the demonstration.
For more information about VCIP2010, please see http://vcip2010.ustc.edu.cn/, or contact: vcip2010@ustc.edu.cn.
Submission Instructions:
Those who are interested in submitting technical demos should submit a description of the demo in one page, using the template of VCIP2010 Demo, via the online submission system (https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/VCIP2010/). Descriptions of selected demos will be included in VCIP 2010 webpage and brochure. If you also submit video, please do not send the video file itself but send a link to the video (e.g., a URL to download it).
Submission Deadline: 10 March 2010
Authors will be notified of acceptance by 31 March 2010.
