Call for Papers

Image and Vision Computing New Zealand (IVCNZ) is New Zealand's premier academic conference on all aspects of computer vision, image processing, visualisation, computer graphics, virtual and augmented reality, and HCI applications related to these fields.

Submissions must be complete manuscripts of 5 to 6 pages, and will be fully peer reviewed. The conference will consist of a mix of oral and poster sessions. No distinction will be made between the presentation types in the conference proceedings. We will run a mix of in person and virtual presentations at IVCNZ this year. Virtual presenters will be required to provide a recording of their presentation approximately three weeks prior to the conference.

In submitting a paper, the authors warrant that should the paper be accepted, the final paper will be prepared in time for inclusion into the published proceedings and that one of the authors will attend the conference and present the paper. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore; the committee reserves the right to withdraw any paper from the proceedings that is not presented at the conference. IEEE author templates are found through the link below - please note authors should use the A4 template for their paper.

Submissions are made through the CMT portal. If you do not already have an account there you will need to create one. You can either search for the IVCNZ conference or access through the linked button below. Please select the IVCNZ track for your submission to the conference.
