Multimedia Applications and Processing
(MMAP)

Belgrade, Serbia, 8–11 September, 2024

Background and goals

Multimedia, computer vision, graphics, and machine learning have become ubiquitous in modern information systems, creating new challenges for detection, recognition, indexing, access, search, retrieval, automated understanding, and processing, resulting in many applications based on image and signal processing, machine learning and various multimedia technologies.

Recent advances in pervasive computers, networks, telecommunications, and information technology, along with the proliferation of multimedia mobile devices, have stimulated the rapid development of intelligent applications. These key technologies, using virtual reality, augmented reality, and computational intelligence, are creating a recent multimedia revolution that will significantly impact a broad spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, educational and governmental domains. Advancements in artificial intelligence resulted in the rapid growth of both methods and applications of machine learning approaches in computer vision, image processing, and analysis. The development of parallel computing capabilities in the first decade of the 21st century that boosted the development of deep neural networks became a real game-changer in machine vision. The workshop covers a range of AI-based theories, methods, algorithms, technologies, and systems for diversified and heterogeneous digital multimedia, imaging, computer graphics and machine learning areas.

This Thematic Track will provide an opportunity for researchers and professionals to discuss present and future challenges and potential collaboration for future progress in these fields. We welcome submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of multimedia, vision, and graphics, ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications. This Thematic Track invites original, previously unpublished contributions that are not submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference. We welcome papers covering innovative applications, practical usage, and theoretical aspects of the trends mentioned above.

Papers acceptance and publication will be judged based on their relevance to the theme of this Thematic Track, clarity of presentation, originality, and accuracy of results and proposed solutions.
