Welcome to ICVGIP 2026

The Indian Conference on Computer Vision, Graphics and Image Processing (ICVGIP) is the flagship annual conference of the Indian Unit for Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence, and one of India's most prestigious venues for disseminating research in Computer Vision, Graphics, Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, and AI. ICVGIP brings together researchers, practitioners, and students from India and abroad to share cutting-edge developments, exchange ideas, and promote collaborations. The 2026 edition will be jointly hosted by ISI, Kolkata and TCG CREST, featuring technical sessions, invited talks, tutorials, and specialized workshops.

With this goal, it is planned to organize the ICVGIP26 at Kolkata during December 21-24, 2026.
The ICVGIP Workshops and Tutorials will be organized on December 21, 2026

Call for Paper

The Indian Conference on Computer Vision, Graphics and Image Processing (ICVGIP) stands as India's foremost conference in the areas of Computer Vision, Graphics, Image Processing, and allied fields. Established in 1998, it was held biennially until 2021, serving as a premier international platform for presenting technological innovations and research breakthroughs. The 17th edition, ICVGIP 2026, will be organized by Indian Statistical Institute with TCG CREST, in collaboration with the Indian Unit for Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (IUPRAI), an affiliate of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). Recognizing the rapid growth of the community, ICVGIP has been held annually since 2022. The conference is committed to nurturing and strengthening the community of researchers and practitioners in computer vision, graphics, and image processing both within India and globally. We endeavor to uphold this commitment at every edition of the conference.

ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library, unless one of their co-authors' institutions is a member or they qualify for a waiver. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance For 2026, ACM is subsidizing APC pricing for ICPS as follows:

• The 2026 subsidized APC rate for ICPS papers will be $350.
• For papers where any of the authors is a member of ACM, the APC rate will be $250.
• For ICPS papers whose corresponding author is based in a lower-middle-income country, the APC rate will be $175.
• For ICPS papers whose corresponding author is based in a lower-middle-income country and where any of the authors is a member of ACM, the APC rate will be $125.
• For ICPS papers whose corresponding author is based in a low-income country, no APC is required.

Further information may be found on the ACM website:

• Full details of the new ICPS publishing model: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/faq
• Full details of the ACM Open program: https://www.acm.org/publications/openaccess

If you do not have access to APC funding or otherwise qualify for an APC waiver, you may be eligible for a needs-based waiver. To request a needs-based waiver, please follow the instructions below https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/policy-on-open-access-apc-waivers-and-discounts

APC from ACM is likely to be waived for all ONOS member institutes in India. The full list of member institutes in India is available at https://libraries.acm.org/acmopen/open-participants. Like previous editions of ICVGIPs, the organizing committee of ICVGIP 2026 is making all efforts to waive the APC for accepted papers of ICVGIP.
