the success of the previous editions of the Workshop on Computer VISion
for <span class="gmail-il">ART</span> Analysis held in 2012, `14, `16, and `18 we present the <span class="gmail-il">VISART</span> V
workshop, in conjunction with the 2020 European Conference on Computer
Vision (ECCV 2020). <span class="gmail-il">VISART</span> will continue its role as a forum for the
presentation, discussion and publication of Computer Vision (CV)
techniques for the analysis of <span class="gmail-il">art</span>. As with the previous edition, <span class="gmail-il">VISART</span>
V offers two tracks:<br><br> 1. Computer Vision for <span class="gmail-il">Art</span> - technical work (standard ECCV submission, 14 pages excluding references) <br> 2. Uses and Reflection of Computer Vision for <span class="gmail-il">Art</span> (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 <span class="gmail-il">art</span>;
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 <span class="gmail-il">art</span> 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 <span class="gmail-il">art</span> 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high-quality, previously unpublished, works related to Computer Vision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>- <span class="gmail-il">Art</span> History and Computer Vision<br>- Cultural Heritage and Computer Vision<br>- Image and visual representation in <span class="gmail-il">art</span><br>- 3D reconstruction from visual <span class="gmail-il">art</span> or historical sites<br>- 2D and 3D human pose and gesture estimation in <span class="gmail-il">art</span><br>- Multi-modal multimedia computing systems and human-machine interaction<br>- Multimedia databases and digital libraries for artistic and <span class="gmail-il">art</span>-historical research<br>- Visual Question & Answering (VQA) or Captioning for <span class="gmail-il">Art</span><br>- Interactive 3D media and immersive AR/VR environments for cultural heritage<br>- Authentication Forensics and dating<br>- Big-data analysis of <span class="gmail-il">art</span><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 <span class="gmail-il">Art</span> 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"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"></font></font></font></font><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="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)"><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
