The ICIP 2025 technical program will feature a series of Special Sessions designed to complement the regular program by showcasing outstanding and original work on new and emerging topics, including Generative AI and other areas of particular interest to the image-processing community.

Prospective organizers of Special Sessions should submit proposals with the following information:

• A title for the Special Session and the names of the organizers;
• Brief biographies of the session organizer(s) and their contact information;
• A brief description of the session (max 250 words), indicating the novelty of the topic and possible interdisciplinary flavor;
• List of six (6) contributed papers (including titles, authors, contact information of the corresponding author, and a short abstract). Upon acceptance of the special session proposal, the contributed papers will be submitted in the same format as regular papers. Organizers should not contribute more than one paper.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic as well as the qualifications of the organizers and authors of the contributed papers.

The papers in each accepted Special Session will undergo a review process, similar to the regular papers. It is the responsibility of the organizers to ensure that their Special Session papers meet ICIP-quality standards.

Proposals should be submitted through the online form, below. Inquiries should be sent via e-mail to the Special Sessions Chairs Arash Mohammadi, Hacer Atar Yildiz and Chaker Larabi at specialsessions@2025.ieeeicip.org.

All who submitted special session proposals will be informed of the decisions of the technical program chairs of ICIP 2025 by email on Monday, January 6 2025.
