Submission Requirements

If you opt for submitting a 1,000-word structured abstract, please, specifically address the following questions therein:

• What is the scientific topic or problem addressed?
• What are the challenges and barriers faced?
• Why is this important for the image processing community?
• What is the original method (algorithm, technique) proposed to address the problem in question?
• What is the novelty compared to the state of art?
• How your method (algorithm, technique) compares with the state of art in terms of performance and efficiency? Provide results. 

Failure to address all of the above questions will disqualify your submission. 
If you opt for submitting a four-six pages draft paper, please address the same questions with a more rigorous discussion and more results.

Ways to Submit

There are four options for submission; please read the descriptions carefully.

1. Presentation at the conference and publication in the conference proceedings. This is the most common option, and if accepted may be assigned either an oral or interactive (poster) presentation. Submit one of the following:
   • 4-6 page draft paper, including results and figures using the symposium template. This is the more preferable option, as it will help the reviewers to better evaluate your contributions  
   • A 1,000-word structured abstract  with optional figures using the symposium template. This is an acceptable uoption, if you can clearly address the questions, specified in ‘Submission requirements’ above    
2. Presentation-only. Oral presentation at the conference, but no publication of work in the conference proceedings. Submit a 500-word short abstract 
3. JPI-first. Expedited review and publication in the Journal of Perceptual Imaging (JPI) before the conference, oral presentation at the conference, and inclusion in the conference proceedings. To meet the publication timeline, successful JPI-first submissions (journal paper, typically 10 or more pages) must require only minor revisions in response to peer-review. Those not meeting this stringent standard are automatically re-considered for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings (option 1 above). Author instructions for journal submissions  
4. JIST-first. Expedited review and publication in the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology [SCI/EI-indexed] before the conference, oral presentation at the conference, and inclusion in the conference proceedings. To meet the publication timeline, successful JIST-first submissions (journal paper, typically 10 or more pages) must require only minor revisions in response to peer-review. Those not meeting this stringent standard are automatically re-considered for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings (option 1 above). Author instructions for journal submissions  

Final Manuscript Deadline

Manuscripts are submitted to the separate manuscript system via a custom link given to each accepted author. Final manuscripts (typically 4-6 pages) submitted in correct form by 22 November 2019 will be published online as of the opening day of EI 2020 via the Fast Track queue in the EI Digital Library. Manuscripts submitted or corrected after that date will be published online after EI 2020 in the complete conference proceedings. All manuscripts are due, in corrected form, by 7 February 2020.
