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.

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.
