ISVC provides a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers and

practitioners to present their latest research findings, ideas,

developments and applications in visual computing. We seek papers

contributing to the state of the art and practice in any of the four

central areas of visual computing: (1) computer vision, (2) computer

graphics, (3) virtual reality, and (4) visualization.  Of particular

interest are papers that combine technologies from two or more areas. For

a list of topics, see http://www.isvc.net

ISVC'13 will consist of invited and contributed presentations dealing with

all aspects of visual computing. In addition to the main program, the

symposium will include several keynote presentations, special tracks, and

a poster session. Significantly extended and revised versions of selected

papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the

International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) (ISI/SCIE

indexed) and the Computers and Graphics journal(ISI/SCIE indexed). Also, a

"best paper" award ($500) is sponsored by Mitsubishi Electric Research

Labs (MERL). The symposium's proceedings will be published by

Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
