These selected papers will be published in the prestigious SCOPUS-indexed Springer Book Series, Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems, thereby giving global visibility to the conference's research contributions.
The success of CVR 2025 was made possible under the able leadership of the General Chairs, namely Dr. Chirag N. Modi from the National Institute of Technology Goa, Prof. Andries Engelbrecht from Stellenbosch University, South Africa, Dr. Harish Sharma from Rajasthan Technical University, Kota, Rajasthan, India, and Dr. Abhishek Bhatt from Madhav Institute of Technology & Science, Gwalior. Their guidance and commitment ensured the smooth execution of a high-quality and globally respected conference.
The technical program of CVR 2025 was rich and diverse, featuring 33 parallel sessions across four major tracks: Computer Vision, Data Analytics, Emerging Techniques, and Robotics. The event was further elevated by thought-provoking keynote speeches and industry sessions. The keynote addresses were delivered by leading experts: Dr. Satyasai Jagannath Nanda from Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur, Dr. Malaya Kumar Nath, Assistant Professor at NIT Puducherry, and Mr. Ruthvik Uppaluri, Manager of FP&A Systems and a Senior IEEE Member. Their sessions offered deep insights into cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, and their practical applications across industries. In addition to the keynote, two industry-invited speaker sessions added critical perspectives from the corporate sector, effectively bridging academic research with real-world industrial innovation.
In recognition of outstanding contributions, CVR 2025 presented two major awards. The prestigious Innovation in AI for Industry Award was conferred upon Tanmoy Biswas, Solution Director - Insight to Launch at ADM, for his exemplary work in business transformation and ERP implementation, notably through SAP S/4 HANA technologies.
