BENGALURU:
International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore is hosting a prestigious conference, “Indian Conference on Computer Vision, Graphics and Image Processing 2024 (ICVGIP 2024)”, from December 13 to 15 at IIIT-Bangalore. This is considered a prestigious conference in the area of Computer Vision, and its parent organization is IUPRAI (Indian Unit of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence).

The Indian Conference on Computer Vision, Graphics and Image Processing (ICVGIP) is India’s premier conference in Computer Vision, Graphics, Image Processing and related fields. Starting in 1998, it was a biennial international conference till 2021, providing a forum for the presentation of technological advances and research findings in these areas. ICVGIP 2024, the 15th conference in this series, is being organized by IIIT-Bangalore in association with the Indian Unit for Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (IUPRAI), an affiliate of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). ICVGIP is being held annually from 2022 due to the huge growth in the community. ICVGIP is dedicated to fostering the community of computer vision, graphics and image processing researchers and enthusiasts in India and abroad. We strive to live up to this goal at every occurrence of this annual conference.

Over 300 participants from both Industry and Academia are expected to attend ICVGIP 2024 this year. The IUPRAI (Indian Unit of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence) Doctoral Dissertation Award will also be given at the conference.
