We are very happy to announce that the Colour and Visual Computing Symposium 2018 (CVCS 2018) will take place in Gjøvik, Norway, on 19-20 September 2018. This will be the ninth time that The Norwegian Colour and Visual Computing Laboratory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) organizes such an event.  This edition of the symposium follows up on the success achieved by the previous runs, of the biannual Gjøvik Colour Imaging Symposium (GCIS), from 2003 to 2011, and CVCS 2013 and CVCS 2015. The symposium has attracted a growing number of participants and provided a platform for fruitful discussions and exploration of recent theoretical advances and emerging practical applications of colour and visual information processing.

The CVCS 2018 symposium will contain a rich program of invited keynotes, and regular talks on a wide variety of colour imaging and visual computing topics given by young researchers and well-known international experts in the field.

Keynote speakers for the symposium are Professor Holly Rushmeier, (Department of Computer Science, Yale University), Associate Professor Marcelo Bertalmío (Information and Communication Technologies, Universitat Pompeu Fabra) and Professor Michael Felsberg (Computer Vision Laboratory, Linköping University).
