HVEI is a conference, and a community, dedicated to research at the intersection of human vision/cognition, imaging technologies and aesthetics/art. The conference runs for four days, with peer-reviewed technical presentations and posters punctuated with interactive discussions, panels, short courses, and social activities. Every year, special invited sessions introduce new topics to the HVEI community, broadening the dialogue and encouraging new areas of research. 

 

HVEI's goal is to enable communication and collaboration across disciplines. HVEI authors and attendees come from academic departments in computer science, imaging science, engineering, psychology, cognitive neuroscience and art; they also come from high tech and government laboratories, and from art studios and start-ups. 

 

The Proceedings are published online and are free-access, with no charges to the authors or the readers. 

 

Conference Topics:

o  Fundamental and applied research in human perception and cognition, including psychophysical, neurophysiological, and computational approaches to human spatial, temporal, color, and stereo perception

o  Visual, auditory, haptic, olfactory and taste perception, and cross-sensory interactions

o  Perceptually-based algorithms, metrics and methods for image and video quality and compression; image and video analysis and understanding; texture, lighting, and material appearance; and rendering

o  Visual cognition, including visual attention and saliency, visual search, pattern recognition, perceptual organization and semantics

o  Higher-level issues in image quality, include quality of experience, aesthetics, emotion, and context

o  Perceptual and cognitive opportunities for emerging technologies, including social networks, big data visualization, data analytics, medical imaging, mobile computing, and digital humanities

o  Perception, art, and aesthetics, including fine arts and design, integrating artistic and scientific insights on perceptual phenomena
