The conference is hosted by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran, IRAN. MVIP^Ò2005 is intended to provide a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments and applications, in the general area of machine vision and image processing. MVIP^Ò2005 is aimed to review the current trend of research and to promote research activities within the field and possible collaborations with the industry. All papers will be peer reviewed and acceptance will be based on quality, originality, contribution, and relevance. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Topics both from the field of theory and applications are covered. However, special attention is paid to the industrial applications of Machine Vision and Image Processing. If you are interested in organizing a special session, industrial focused session, tutorial or workshop in related areas, or if you need more information on taking part in the exhibitions, please send an e-mail to the responsible co-chair or info@mvip2005.com.
