20th International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC)

Dates and Location

• Dates: November 17-19, 2025
• Location: Las Vegas, NV

Overview

The International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC) aims to provide a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners worldwide to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments, and applications in visual computing. The symposium focuses on the four central areas of visual computing:

• Computer Vision
• Computer Graphics
• Virtual Reality
• Visualization

Papers that span multiple areas are particularly encouraged.

Symposium Structure

ISVC will consist of invited and contributed presentations. In addition to the main program, the symposium includes:

• Six keynote presentations
• Tutorials
• Special tracks
• A poster session

Publication

The symposium’s proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

A "best paper award ($500)" will be sponsored by Springer.

Authors of selected papers presented at ISVC’25 will be invited to submit an extended version of their work for expedited review and possible publication in a special issue on Advances in Visual Computing in the Machine Vision and Applications journal. The paper submission deadline for the special issue is tentatively April 15, 2026, with publication expected within 2026.

Call for Papers Details

ISVC seeks papers describing contributions to the state of the art and practice in the broad field of visual computing.

Special Tracks

In addition to the main symposium, papers are solicited for several special tracks related to ISVC. Authors should check whether their work fits any of the special tracks.
