As a satellite event of NCVPRIPG 2017, we invite proposals for experimental challenges. A challenge is an experimental study where participants adhere to a predefined protocol and evaluate algorithms on a particular problem of interest to the NCVPRIPG community. The goal is to establish state-of-the-art, and to accelerate research for the problem under study.

Challenge topics can revolve around the general theme of the conference.

The proposals will be scrutinized by the conference Program Committee.

There would be separate Challenge Session(s) in the conference program. The challenge participants would be invited to present their work, and submit extended abstracts, which would be made available on a permanent URL through the conference website.
