EMMCVPR 2017

11th International Conference on Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

30 October - 1 November 2017
Venice , Italy

About

Energy minimization methods have become an established computational paradigm in computer vision and pattern recognition. EMMCVPR is a regular bi-annual conference dedicated to advancing the state of the art in this field.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the foundation of the conference series, with the inaugural meeting having taken place in Venice in 1997, and we will celebrate it by bringing it back to Venice.


The conference will be co-located with ICCV 2017, the International Conference on Computer Vision.


As with the previous editions, the proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The scientific program will include the presentation of invited plenary talks and contributed research papers.
