Welcome to the homepage of the Irish Machine Vision and Image Processing Conference, which will take place from August 29th - 31st 2018 in Ulster University, Belfast. IMVIP brings together theoreticians and practitioners, industrialists and academics, from the numerous related disciplines involved in the processing and analysis of image-based information.

We invite submissions to IMVIP 2018 of papers presenting novel research contributions or applications related to any aspect of computer vision or image processing. IMVIP is the annual conference of the Irish Pattern Recognition and Classification Society, a member body of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). IMVIP 2018 is a single-track conference emphasising both theoretical research results and practical engineering experience. The conference attracts both national and international participation, and provides an excellent forum for networking with academics, companies, researchers and students working in the area. The conference programme will include oral and poster presentations, invited keynote speakers from world leading experts, industry demonstrations, and prizes for both Best Paper and Best Student Paper.

Full papers will be subject to a double-blind review process by the programme committee. Contributions are sought in all aspects of image processing, pattern analysis and machine vision, including but not restricted to the following topics:

• Machine Learning and Deep Learning
• Robot Vision Systems
• Object and Event Recognition
• Semantic Analytics
• Scene Analysis and Visualisation
• Medical and Bio-medical Imaging
• Biometrics and Forensic Science
• Face and Gesture Recognition
• Social media applications with images and videos
• Cognitive and Biologically-inspired Vision
• Image Segmentation and Enhancement
• Data Clustering and Texture Analysis
• Applications, Architectures and Systems Integration
• Image & Video Representation, Compression and Coding
• Active Vision, Tracking and Motion Analysis
