The 9th International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval （ACM CIVR2010）

图像和视频存储和检索是多媒体技术领域一个快速发展和激动人心的课题。但是不同课题组的研究人员，以及研究人员与用户之间的思想交流非常有限。CIVR希望为全球的学者提 供一个研讨图像和视频检索的研究和发展现状的交流平台，为此发展成为每年一度的系列国际会议。CIVR2010欢迎本领域原创的高质量的论文投稿，欢迎广大的学者积极参加这一 盛会。 CIVR2010大会接收的论文将由美国计算机学会ACM出版系列国际会议论文集。会后将在IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, Computer Vision and Image Understanding, or Journal of Multimedia Systems等国际期刊上组织题为“Internet-scale Image and Video Search”的专辑， 部分优秀论文（扩展后）将发表在该专辑中。 Image and video storage and retrieval continues to be one of the most exciting and fastest-growing research areas in the field of multimedia technology. However, opportunities for the exchange of ideas between different groups of researchers, and between researchers and potential users of image/video retrieval systems, are still limited. The International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval (CIVR) series of conferences was originally set up to illuminate the state of the art in image and video retrieval between researchers and practitioners throughout the world. This conference aims to provide an international forum for the discussion of challenges in the fields of image and video retrieval. CIVR2010 is seeking original high quality submissions addressing innovative research in the broad field of image and video retrieval. A unique feature of the conference is the high level of participation from practitioners. Applications papers and presentations suitable for a wide audience are therefore particularly welcome.
