The Fifth IAPR International Conference on Computer Vision & Image Processing (CVIP2020) will be held at Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad, Prayagraj, India, from October 16-18, 2020. CVIP is a premier annual conference focused on Computer Vision and Image Processing. With its high quality, it provides a great platform to students, academia and researchers. Previous editions of CVIP were held at MNIT Jaipur (CVIP2019), IIIT Jabalpur (CVIP2018), and IIT Roorkee (CVIP2017 and CVIP2016). Papers in the main technical program must describe high - quality, original research. Prospective authors are invited to submit their original research contributions in the following eleven tracks:

Swami Vivekananda said, “We want the education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s feet.” The program ज्ञानोत्सव@प्रयागराज aims to find ways of realizing this dream.

The rapid advancement in the area of Optical Networks provides excellent capacity in terms of Bandwidth. Here, the Optical Network is being used as the backbone network. The aim of this Workshop is to update the knowledge of the participants towards Optical Network and Photonics principles. This workshop will also introduce the participants to the current practices in the field and will help in developing the research aptitude in this area. The topics to be covered are Introduction to Optical Networks and Routing Techniques, Modulation/DeModulation Techniques in Optical Network, Optical Time Division Multiplexing (OTDM), WDM/Single and Multi Hop Networks, Protection and Restoration in Optical Networks, Elastic Optical Networks, Machine Learning for Optical Networks, Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCF) and plasmonic behaviour of PCF. Lectures and Lab/Hands-On Sessions would help to understand it in better way.

The Workshop aims at inculcating the concept of Scientific Research amongst the researchers by focusing of Qualitative and Quantitative Methods of research. The Workshop also covers several multivariate data analysis techniques from the experts. Proper hands on with area experts will also be provided to the participants.

The rapid advancement in the VLSI technology and system integration have made possible to design chips with more than billion transistors. With the advent of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) technology, it is now possible to design chips with billion transistors. A specialized one month summer training program from 8th June to 5 th July 2020 has been scheduled at IIIT-A. This training program will cover analog and digital integrated circuit design using commercial technology kits and simulation tools along with exposure to fabrication methods and PCB design.
