The AVA spring meeting will be held this year at Farnborough in Hampshire, UK, at the Cody Technology Park campus. The aim of this meeting is to encourage collaboration and communication between those working on applied and basic aspects of vision, whether it be in academic, business or other settings. All are encouraged to submit an abstract. Research on all aspects of vision is welcome.
The meeting will be held over one day and will include the following keynote addresses:
David Foster (University of Manchester) – The Geoffrey J Burton Memorial Lecture: "Hyperspectral Imaging and Visual Inference".
Kathy Mullen (McGill University, Montreal) – The CRS Lecture: "The perceptual combination of colour and luminance contrast".
Alexander Toet (TNO, Netherlands) – "Colour night vision: system development and observer evaluation studies".
Please submit abstracts to ava.spring2017@gmail.com
Farnborough is about 40 minutes from London by train, and well connected to the road network via the M3. Cody Technology Park is a multi-occupancy hi tech campus situated next to Farnborough Aerodrome, occupying land that was formerly the Royal Aircraft Establishment, and historically the home of British aviation. The meeting is being hosted by QinetiQ Ltd.

Abstracts will be peer-reviewed & published in the journal Perception (so long as presenting authors attend the meeting) and should cover previously unreported research involving any aspect of vision in humans, animals and machines. Abstracts must be in the standard format for ECVP/Perception, examples can be seen at: http://www.perceptionweb.com/P.html References should be given in the body of the abstract in full, but without the title. e.g. (Rayner et al, 2001, Vis Res, 41, 943-954) Unless otherwise stated (at the end of the abstract), it will be assumed that the first author will be the presenting author.
Note that no copyright agreement needs to be signed, but it is the authors responsibility to disclose or sort out any conflict of interest or the clearing of any copyright issues that might arise.
The organizers will try to accommodate preferences for a talk or poster but the number of submissions that this meeting is expected to attract means that this might not always be possible.
