Finalizing and Submitting your Manuscript
Authors are expected to submit a proceedings paper that will reside in the IS&T Digital Library. Work-in-Progress authors are expected to submit a final abstract, that will appear in the conference program.
- Length: 4 pages + references. We strongly suggest that you refer to the reviewer comments as you revise/finalize your submission.
- Deadline: 17 May
- Manuscript format: A4 Manuscript Template (MS Word)
- Final submission format: Print-ready PDF; be sure that all fonts and graphics are embedded. PDFs are published as submitted to IS&T. Please proofread your work!
- Use of Lena (Lenna) image: IS&T strongly discourages the use of the Lena (Lenna) image in IS&T publications, conference presentations, and short courses. Authors/presenters/instructors should use other suitable images to illustrate and compare image processing algorithms. IS&T journals and conferences no longer review submissions containing the Lena image without convincing scientific justification for its use.
- Submitting documents: Use the CMT Submission system to upload the manuscript and copyright transfer form, as well as the thumbnail for the Digital Library and the poster PDF (for Interactive Poster Papers). IMPORTANT: Be sure to update the submission system with ALL changes, i.e., title, author(s), affiliation(s).
- Copyright requirement: IS&T offers four (4) copyright options, including a Creative Commons (CCBY) and government options. All are found within the Copyright Release agreement file. Select ONE. Download, complete, sign, and submit.
- Permissions: When creating your presentation, please ensure that you obtain all necessary rights and permissions to use any materials which you do not own outright. You will be responsible for any claims that IOP receives which allege that any part of your presentation breaches or infringes any third party's rights.
- DL Thumbnail Image: Submit a 350 x 206 px image from your paper to be used in the IS&T Digital Library paper listing. If you do not submit an image, we will choose one for you; likewise, we will crop any that are not sized properly.
- Registration Obligation: Authors are expected to attend the conference in person and pay the in-person conference registration fee, even if they must present remotely. Please notify the organizers immediately if you cannot present your work in person.
Preparing and Giving Your Talk
Presentation Lengths
- Interactive Paper Poster Preview: Each author has 2 minutes to summarize their work during an oral preview prior to the Interactive Paper Poster Session.
- Oral: 20 minutes; includes speaker change, intro, and Q&A—we suggest you plan your talk for 14-16 minutes.
- Focal: 30 minutes; includes speaker change, intro, and Q&A—we suggest you plan your talk for 24-26 minutes.
- Keynote: 50 minutes; includes speaker change, intro, and Q&A—we suggest you plan your talk for 40-42 minutes.
Presentation Slides: Best Practices
- Use images, keywords, or brief phrases instead of large chunks of text—you want the attendees to be listening to you, not reading a slide. This may mean more slides, but it will make a more engaging presentation.
- Slides should be concise, clear, and the appropriate quantity for the length of the talk so you do not have to rush.
- Practice the talk and the timing to ensure a successful presentation. Talks will be kept to schedule.
- Additional details about your talk will be provided closer to the event.
INTERACTIVE POSTER PAPER AUTHOR FAQS
Giving a LIM 2024 Interactive Poster Paper consists of four ways for you to interact with other attendees and get feedback on your paper, specifically through:
- your POSTER, which will be posted at the venue;
- an INTERACTIVE PREVIEW, where you give a 2-minute summary talk of your research/poster;
- an INTERACTIVE SESSION, where you display your poster and talk with others about your work; and
- your PROCEEDINGS PAPER, which is published in the conference proceedings and on the IS&T Digital Library.
Interactive Paper presenters need to prepare 3 things:
- Proceedings manuscript (unless it's a Work-in-Progress submission; then we will use your abstract)
- 2-3 preview slides
- Poster for viewing
Prepare your Poster
- Design your poster to be approximately A0 size (1.9 x .85 meter or 48 x 36 inches).
- See "Poster Layout Samples" for ideas; we suggest a horizontal/landscape orientation.
- Pay particular attention to keeping text to a minimum and using images, graphs, and/or charts to enhance its visual interest.
- Save the poster as a PDF and SUBMIT via email to [email protected].
- Please bring a printed copy of your poster for display at the meeting.
- Consider the "Better Poster" guideline and templates to assist you in preparing your poster. (These templates were created by Mike Morrison, a doctoral student in Psychology at Michigan State University. If you want to know more and have time, this YouTube video is an entertaining exploration of some of the problems with scientific papers and his ideas for improvements. Fast forward to 10:40 for his explanation of the template).
- If you want to send your printed poster to IOP before the meeting, please send to Annalise Machin, IOP office, 37 Caledonian Road, Kings Cross, London N1 9BU,
Poster Preview Slides
The goal is to entice people to come talk with you about your work during the Interactive Paper Poster Session. (Don't forget to include a slide with the name and authors of the paper!)
- For your 2-minute Interactive paper preview, we suggest you CREATE 2-3 slides to highlight your talk.
- Give an overview of your work, introducing attendees to your topic, and view the preview as a way to invite people to come talk to you during the Interactive Poster Paper Session.
- Your slides should answer these questions:
- What problem did you want to solve?
- What was your approach/methodology?
- What are your results?
- Email your slides to [email protected].
Please note: Authors are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary copyright / permissions for all material included within their presentation.
LIM 2024 CALL FOR PAPERS
Image Capture: From Photons to Photos hopes to serve as a venue to bring together innovators, researchers, industry professionals, and academicians interested in all aspects of the imaging process used to convert physical scene radiance to pixel intensities.
Authors are encouraged to present methods and solutions that cross the boundaries of disciplines. For example, methods that use new or existing models of the imaging system to improve image quality for tasks beyond photography. We welcome the participation of scientists and engineers from academia and industry and strongly encourage contributions from graduate students.
The conference is an in-person event, and the presenters are expected to attend in person (unless there are exceptional circumstances). We are planning that it will be possible to attend the main technical meeting online.
LIM 2024 PROGRAM TOPICS
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Fundamental of imaging and modeling of image formation
- Light capture and sensor technologies
- Optical imaging systems and lenses

Peer Review Process and Publication
All submitted proposals are peer-reviewed to ensure that the program provides significant, timely, and authoritative information.
Authors have the option to submit either a traditional conference
paper, which is published in the LIM proceedings, or a Journal-first
paper, which appears in the journal prior to the meeting start date, and
as a reprint in the proceedings. The advantage of Journal-first is an
Open Access journal citation. Journal-first is available for the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology (JIST) or Journal of Perceptual Imaging (JPI). Details for each are below.
- Papers presented at the conference should be complete in regard to advancing the state of knowledge in the area of display science.
- Papers will be allocated either an oral or poster presentation, at the discretion of the program committee.
- All papers presented at LIM 2024 are published Open Access in the conference proceedings and/or journal, indexed with various services, filed with the US Library of Congress, and made available as downloadable PDFs through the IS&T Digital Library. Authors may also post the authoritative version of accepted papers in repositories and on websites.
- The conference language is English.
Prospective authors are encouraged to review the two submission option details below.
