ICPR 2020 - Call for Workshop Proposals


The ICPR 2020 Workshop Chairs invite proposals for the 25th
International Conference on Pattern Recognition. The workshops can be
half-day or full-day and will be held on 13 and 18 September 2020,
immediately before and after the main conference. The workshops will
take place at the same venue as the main conference.

We seek for Workshops on timely topics and applications of Computer
Vision, Image and Sound Analysis, Pattern Recognition and Artificial
Intelligence. They are expected to provide a forum for active exchange
of ideas and experiences. Members from all segments of the ICPR
community are invited to submit workshop proposals for review. Each
proposal will be assessed for its scientific content, proposed

responsible for inviting speakers and ensuring their participation,
submission and review of papers, and structuring leading discussion
sessions.

Workshop papers will be included in the ICPR 2020 proceedings.

to cover the costs of hosting the workshop from the above-mentioned
revenue of ICPR 2020.  Workshop sponsorship

If necessary, workshop organizers should obtain a sponsorship for the
workshop from IAPR Conferences and Meetings Committee
(http://www.iapr.org/conferences/applications.php). Otherwise, the
workshop will not be sponsored by IAPR, and therefore the name and
