September 18 – 20, 2024 in Reykjavik, Iceland

**** The CBMI 2024 submission deadline has been extended to April 12, 2024

**** The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE

After successful editions across Europe in France, Austria, Italy, UK, Czech Republic, and Hungary, the Content-Based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI) conference will take place in Reykjavík, Iceland this coming September 2024. CBMI aims at bringing together the various communities involved in all aspects of content-based multimedia indexing for retrieval, browsing, management, visualisation and analytics. We encourage contributions both on theoretical aspects and applications of CBMI in the new era of Artificial Intelligence.  Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished research papers highlighting significant contributions addressing these topics. In addition, special sessions on specific technical aspects or application domains are planned.

Conference Website: http://cbmi2024.org/

The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE. Authors can submit full papers (6 pages + references), short papers (4 pages + references), special session papers (6 pages + references) and demonstration proposals (4 pages + 1 page demonstration description + references). Authors of high-quality papers accepted to the conference may be invited to submit extended versions of their contributions to a special journal issue in MTAP. Submissions to CBMI are peer reviewed in a single blind process. All types of papers must use the IEEE templates at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. The language of the conference is English.

CBMI 2024 proposes eight special sessions:

• AIMHDA: Advances in AI-Driven Medical and Health Data Analysis
• Content-Based Indexing for Audio and Music: From Analysis to Synthesis
• ExMA: Explainability in Multimedia Analysis
• IVR4B: Interactive Video Retrieval for Beginners
• MIDRA: Multimodal Insights for Disaster Risk Management and Applications
• MmIXR: Multimedia Indexing for XR
• Multimedia Analysis and Simulations for Digital Twins in the Construction Domain
• Multimodal Data Analysis for Understanding of Human Behaviour, Emotions and their Reasons

 Submission Deadlines

• Full and short research papers are due April 12, 2024
