VISART on Ponte Vecchio in Florence

We are organising the VISART “Where Computer Vision Meets Art” workshop at ECCV 2012 this year together with Gustavo, Nuno and Joao Paulo. The aim of the workshop is to bridge the gap between art and image analysis research fields…and Florence seems the best place where to do this!

We have a cool website HERE and a call for papers:

CALL FOR PAPERS

Art analysis is a fertile field of application for Computer Vision techniques. It is an interdisciplinary research in nature, which benefits the computer vision community with new tools and new problems, and the art history community with automatic tools for assisting in the art analysis.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leading researches in the fields of computer vision, machine learning, and multimedia information retrieval, with a special emphasis on art and cultural heritage applications. The ultimate goal of this workshop is to promote interdisciplinary collaborations and expose the audience to the problems and results in art analysis using the state-of-the-art techniques developed in the aforementioned fields.

This one day workshop, held in conjunction with ECCV 2012, calls for high-quality, previously unpublished, works related to Computer Vision and related areas, which focus on art objects and art analysis. Submissions should conform to the ECCV 2012 proceedings style, and have a maximum of 10 pages. Papers must be submitted online through the ECCV 2012 CMT submission system and double-blind peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers.
