The eighteenth International Conference on Machine Vision Applications will be held at ACT CITY Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan from July 23 through 25, 2023. The conference is sponsored by the MVA Organization, co-organized by IEICE PRMU and IPSJ SIG-CVIM, and endorsed by IAPR.

The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry, and to stimulate the exchange of knowledge through intensive discussions on the cutting-edge research topics.

Topics-of-interest include, but are not limited to, sensing, algorithms, and applications (Factory automation and robotics, Intelligent Transport Systems, Human computer interaction, biomedical, multimedia, and life) concerning the image media.

Papers should be prepared in the designated format in four pages, and submitted electronically by the deadline.

Accepted papers will be presented in English either as an oral presentation or a poster presentation.

Note that at least one author of an accepted paper must present their work at the conference.
Also we are considering allowing you to participate online as well.
