PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS IbPRIA 2013 - 6th Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis Madeira, Portugal June 5-7, 2013 http://www.ibpria.org/2013 The Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (IbPRIA) is an international event co-organised every two years, by the Portuguese and Spanish Associations for Pattern Recognition, and sponsored by IAPR-International Association for Pattern Recognition. IbPRIA is a single track conference that includes tutorials, invited speakers as well as oral and poster presentations. The conference is intended to act as a forum for research groups, engineers and practitioners to present recent results, algorithmic improvements and promising future directions in pattern recognition and image analysis. SCOPE The conference is looking for new theoretical results, techniques and main applications on any aspect of pattern recognition and image analysis, including but not restricted to the following topics: Pattern Recognition Image Analysis Computer Vision Multimedia Systems Statistical and Structural Pattern Recognition Machine Learning and Data Mining Bioinformatics Image Coding and Processing Shape and Texture Analysis Information Systems Biometric Technologies Speech Recognition Document Processing Character and Text Recognition Robotics Remote Sensing Industrial Applications of Pattern Recognition Special Hardware Architectures PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should describe original and unpublished work on the topics of the conference. Prospective authors should prepare a full paper, written in english, not exceeding 8 pages and must submit it electronically. Further information can be found on the conference website: http://www.ibpria.org/2013 Each paper will be blind-reviewed by at least two reviewers and will be accepted based on its originality, signficance and clarity. All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, scheduled to be published in Springer LNCS series. A copy of the proceedings will be distributed to all participants at the Conference. Moreover, the IbPRIA 2013 conference provides additional opportunities for journal publicaction and best paper awards. Contacts are being established with an indexed journal for a special issue. Submission implies that at least one of the authors has to register and to present the communication at the conference if the paper is accepted.
