Call for Papers

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Visual Information Engineering conference aims at bringing together leading international researchers, developers, creators, educators, and practitioners in networked media, image processing, machine vision, computer graphics, virtual and augmented environments, and visual communications to share our latest achievements and explore future directions and synergies.

In 2008 the fifth VIE conference will focus on fostering closer links to China by both academia and industry. VIE'08 is sure to provide the ideal forum for researchers, practitioners and educators in the VIE community to discuss results and advancements in a high quality, peer reviewed environment.
