We invite you to participate in the Eighth International Conference on Scale Space and Variational Methods in Computer Vision (SSVM). The conference will be held in Cabourg, France, from Sunday May 16 evening to Thursday May 20 2021, at the Sweet-Home Hotel. 

So far, we are planning to maintain the SSVM conference live, provided the progress of the outbreak situation continues to improve. However, our first priority is the safety, health, and well-being of SSVM participants.We are closely monitoring the situation through official channels and will provide updates with any developments. If the situation next spring does not improve enough, then we will consider turning the event completely virtual.For participants with health issues and risks, who will have their work accepted but cannot attend, we will also consider possibilities for remote participation. In any event, we would like to encourage the community to submit excellent research work.

• Paper submission (deadline extension): Friday, January 29 January 15, 2021, 23:59 CET

• Notification of acceptance: Sunday, March 14 February 28, 2021
  
  
• Final Version due : March 21, 2021

Contributions are in the form of full papers, 12 pages in Springer LNCS format including bibliography.

Papers accepted for the conference will appear in the conference proceedings that will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The proceedings will be available at the conference. Prospective authors are invited to submit a full-length twelve-page paper electronically via the SSVM'21 Paper Submission Web Page. All papers will undergo a double-blind peer-review procedure. At the conference the papers will be presented as posters or talks.

The conference will award a best student paper prize.

SSVM is a biannual meeting within the area of Computer Vision and Image Analysis. SSVM focuses especially on multiscale analysis of image content, partial differential equations, geometric and level-set methods, variational methods, and optimization.

Conference topics include the following areas:

• Differential geometry and invariants 
• Image- and feature analysis 
• Imaging modalities 
• Implicit surfaces 
• Inverse problems in imaging 
• Machine learning in imaging
• Manifold data processing 
• Mathematics of novel imaging methods 
• Medical imaging and other applications 
• Motion estimation and tracking 
• Multi-orientation and multi-scale modelling and analysis 
• Optical flow 
• Optimization methods in imaging 
• PDEs in data processing 
• Perceptual grouping 
• Registration 
• Restoration and reconstruction 
• Scale-space methods 
• Segmentation 
• Selection of salient scales
