IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications

Instructions for Authors

Article Types:
CVA article types are as follows. There is no limit on the number of pages.

(1) Research Paper
A research paper shall contain new technical contributions. Originality in concepts and validation through experiments are prerequisites.

(2) Systems Paper
This type of paper shall describe a vision system that either provides a new practical functionality or demonstrates a new application.
Papers on systems that significantly exceed state-of-the-art performance are also acceptable.

(3) Position Paper
A position paper shall analyze the development of an area or topic, with the intent of providing opinions on state-of-the-art work and
suggestions for future directions. This type of paper can also be philosophical in nature, arguing for or against different competing methodologies.

(4) Survey Paper
A survey paper shall describe all major work leading to state-of-the-art techniques in an area or topic. Such a paper is expected
to provide an overview on the area or topic, educate readers on the major issues, and compare and contrast approaches.

(5) Express Paper
An express paper provides a fast publication path for novel studies. Such a paper is expected to either provide a new original concept
or high validity. Descriptions of new system are also acceptable.
This type of paper is accepted/rejected after one cycle of review.

(6) Technical Note
A Technical note provides a fast publication path for novel research results or provide in-depth explanations on well-known techniques.
These in-depth explanations must not be covered in prior publications. Descriptions of databases for public research use are also acceptable.

Format:
Manuscripts must be submitted in PDF format through the online submission system.
Authors should submit the camera-ready file versions formatted in the LaTeX system with the IPSJ journal format.
