Abstract

The 5th International Conference on Machine Vision and Information Technology (CMVIT 2021) was held on Feb. 26, 2021. It is organized by Federation University Australia, technically sponsored by Shanghai Jiaotong University and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. The conference strives to offer plenty of networking opportunities to meet and interact with the world-leading scientists, engineers and researchers as well as industrial partners in machine vision and information technologies.CMVIT has been held for four years since 2017 after four successful conferences in Singapore, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Sanya, attracting a large number of researchers, scholars and students from all over the world. CMVIT 2021 is the fifth event and we continue to provide a unique and excellent forum to exchange research methodologies, explore practical applications, and foster innovative ideas, in machine vision and information technology. The conference was originally scheduled at Auckland, New Zealand from Feb 25 to 28, 2021. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, we follow most current conferences and organize it as a fully virtual conference.The proceedings of this year’s edition consists of 3 main categories: Image and Signal Processing, Information Technology, and Machine Vision. The research tracks attracted 84 submissions from about 10 countries, among which 39 were accepted. All the submissions were rigorously reviewed by the conference Program Committee (PC). We have also selected 1 best paper award, 1 best poster award, and 2 runner-up paper awards. One plenary speaker and 2 keynote speakers were invited to share their latest and insightful research ideas in the conference.We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the authors for submitting their papers to our conference. We also extend our appreciation to the invited speakers, PC members, supporting staff, as well as all the Organizing Committee members for their hard work, which eventually makes CMVIT 2021 a successful and fruitful event!Kaizhu Huang, Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, ChinaPaul Pang, Federation University Australia, AustraliaQingbo He, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, ChinaGeneral Co-Chairs, CMVIT 2021
