The 7th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems (ICVS 2009) will take place in Liège, the cultural and economic capital of Wallonia, Belgium, continuing the established series of conferences held so far in Europe and North America.

While most computer vision conferences focus on either algorithms or applications, ICVS addresses issues arising in the design and deployment of computer vision systems. Its scope includes but is not limited to the following topics:

    •    Building Vision Systems: paradigms, architectures, integration, control

    •    Vision for the Real World: robustness, learning, adaptability, self-assessment, failure recovery

    •    Vision for Action: robotics, human-computer interaction, perception-action loops

    •    Vision in Context: knowledge representations, reasoning, goal specification, context awareness

    •    Biological Systems: computer vision inspired by biology or psychology

    •    Implementation Issues: embedded systems, nonstandard hardware, real-time systems

    •    Performance Evaluation: benchmarks, methods and metrics

ICVS brings together researchers and developers from academe and industry around the world. Due to its perspective on systems, it is a well-positioned platform for knowledge and technology transfer and for the identification of application-driven research questions.

The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
