Conference Overview
Recent progress at the intersection of deep learning and imaging has created a new wave of interest in imaging and multimedia analytics topics, from social media sharing to augmented reality, from food and nutrition to health surveillance, from remote sensing and agriculture to wildlife and environment monitoring. Compared to many subjects in traditional imaging, these topics are more multi-disciplinary in nature. This conference will provide a forum for researchers and engineers from various related areas, both academic and industrial, to exchange ideas and share research results in this rapidly evolving field.
