There are 16 Special Sessions proposed for ICIP 2019. Please find below a short description of each Special Session and its organizers.

Each Special Session is open to the public for submission. If you find that your work matches the theme of a Special Session well, please indicate that in your paper submission process.

There is no difference in the paper review process for papers submitted to Regular Sessions or Special Sessions. If the number of accepted papers in a Special Session goes beyond its capacity, the organizers will select a subset and assign others to suitable Regular Sessions.
