to remind you that the <b>Colour and Visual Computing Symposium
2018 (CVCS 2018) </b>will take place in Gjøvik, Norway, on
19-20 September 2018. This will be the ninth time that The
Norwegian Colour and Visual Computing Laboratory at the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) organizes
such an event. This edition of the symposium follows up on the
success achieved by the previous runs, of the biannual Gjøvik
Colour Imaging Symposium (GCIS), from 2003 to 2011, and CVCS
2013 and CVCS 2015. The symposium has attracted a growing number
of participants and provided a platform for fruitful discussions
and exploration of recent theoretical advances and emerging
practical applications of colour and visual information
processing.</font></p>
