the success of the previous editions of the Workshop on Computer VISion
for ART Analysis held in 2012, `14, `16, and `18 we present the VISART V
workshop, in conjunction with the 2020 European Conference on Computer
Vision (ECCV 2020). VISART will continue its role as a forum for the
presentation, discussion and publication of Computer Vision (CV)
techniques for the analysis of art. As with the previous edition, VISART
V offers two tracks:<br><br> 1. Computer Vision for Art - technical work (standard ECCV submission, 14 pages excluding references) <br> 2. Uses and Reflection of Computer Vision for Art (Extended abstract, 4 pages, excluding references)<br><br>The
recent explosion in the digitisation of artworks highlights the
concrete importance of application in the overlap between CV and art;
such as the automatic indexing of databases of paintings and drawings,
or automatic tools for the analysis of cultural heritage. Such an
encounter, however, also opens the door both to a wider computational
understanding of the image beyond photo-geometry, and to a deeper
critical engagement with how images are mediated, understood or produced
by CV techniques in the `Age of Image-Machines' (T. J. Clark).
Submissions to our first track should primarily consist of technical
papers; our second track, therefore, encourages critical essays or
extended abstracts from art historians, artists, cultural historians,
media theorists and computer scientists.<br><br>The purpose of this
workshop is to bring together leading researchers in the fields of
computer vision and the digital humanities with art and cultural
historians and artists, to promote interdisciplinary collaborations, and
to expose the hybrid community to cutting-edge techniques and open
problems on both sides of this fascinating area of study.<br><br>This
half-day workshop, in conjunction with ECCV 2020, calls for
high-quality, previously unpublished, works related to Computer Vision
and Cultural History. Submissions for both tracks should conform to the
ECCV 2020 proceedings style and will be double-blind peer-reviewed by at
least three reviewers. However, extended abstracts will not appear in
the conference proceedings. Papers must be submitted online through the
CMT submission system at:<br><br><a href="https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/VISART2020/" target="_blank">https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/VISART2020/</a><br><br>TOPICS include but are not limited to:<br><br>- Art History and Computer Vision<br>- Cultural Heritage and Computer Vision<br>- Image and visual representation in art<br>- 3D reconstruction from visual art or historical sites<br>- 2D and 3D human pose and gesture estimation in art<br>- Multi-modal multimedia computing systems and human-machine interaction<br>- Multimedia databases and digital libraries for artistic and art-historical research<br>- Visual Question & Answering (VQA) or Captioning for Art<br>- Interactive 3D media and immersive AR/VR environments for cultural heritage<br>- Authentication Forensics and dating<br>- Big-data analysis of art<br>- Media content analysis and search<br>- Security and legal issues in the digital presentation and distribution of cultural information<br>- Surveillance and Behaviour analysis in Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums<br><br>INVITED SPEAKERS<br><br>To be confirmed.<br><br>INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE<br><br>To be confirmed<br><br>ORGANIZERS:<br>Alessio Del Bue, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT)<br>Sebastiano Vascon, Ca' Foscari University of Venice<br>Leonardo Impett, EPFL & Biblioteca Hertziana, Max Planck for Art History<br>Peter Bell, Friedrich-Alexander University Nüremberg<br>Stuart James, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) & UCL DH<font color="#888888"><font color="#888888"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"></font></font></font><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">Dr Stuart James<br>Researcher, Visual Geometry and Modelling (VGM)</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT)<br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">Honorary Research Associate, University College London (UCL)<br></span><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><span><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">Affiliate </span></span>Team member, UCL Centre for Digital Humanities (UCLDH)<br><br>Genova, Italy</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">Website: <a href="https://stuart-james.com" target="_blank">https://stuart-james.com</a><br></span></div><div><span><span><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">Meet me</span></span>: <a href="http://meetme.stuart-james.com" target="_blank">http://meetme.stuart-james.com</a></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
