>>
>> Topics of Interest
>> ---------------------------
>> Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
>>    - Scene text localisation, segmentation, and recognition
>>    - Reading scene and/or overlaid text in video sequences
>>    - Text localisation, segmentation, and recognition in born-digital images
>>    - Restoration of camera captured documents (dewarping, deblurring, etc.)
>>    - Quality estimation and degradation modelling of camera-captured text
>>    - Performance evaluation and metrics
>>    - Applications such as translation, reading text for the blind, etc
>>    - Graphical content interpretation in complex settings
>>
>> Submission (Updated!)
>> ---------------------------
>> The workshop organizers welcome original technical papers related to the
>> workshop topics. All submissions must follow the guideline of ACCV 2014.
>> Namely, submissions must be a maximum of 14 pages (not including
>> references). Supplementary material can be submitted. Submissions,
>> including supplementary material, must be self-contained. Submitted
>> papers will be reviewed by the workshop program committee in a double
>> blind manner (so all submissions must be anonymised). Papers violating
>> the formatting rules will be rejected without review.
>> There is another way of submission; submit your paper to ACCV2014 and
>> designate IWRR as the "optional workshop." Please see the workshop
>> webpage for more detail.
>>
>> Publication (Updated!)
>> ---------------------------
>> Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings, which will
>> be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
>> series and also contained in the USB stick distributed in the conference
>> site. Accepted papers must be registered and presented; otherwise they
>> will not be included in the workshop proceedings.
>>
>> The workshop organizers welcome technical papers with novel,
>> thought-provoking work and ideas relating to the workshop topics. All
>> submissions must be formatted in ACCV 2014 format and contain original
>> work that is not being published or under review elsewhere. Each
>> submission will undergo a double-blind reviewing process. All accepted
>> papers will be published online on the workshop website. More
>> information can be found on the workshop website.
>>
>> Important Dates (Updated!)
