*submission deadline*: June 13, 2025 *extended*


*Aim & Scope*

Cultural heritage, especially fine arts, plays an invaluable role in
our societies’ cultural, historical, and economic growth. Fine arts
are primarily developed for aesthetic purposes and are mainly
expressed through painting, sculpture, and architecture. In recent
years, thanks to technological improvements and drastic cost
reductions, a large-scale digitization effort has been made, which has
led to the increasing availability of large digitized fine art
collections. This availability, coupled with recent advances in
computer vision, has disclosed new opportunities, especially for
researchers in this field, to assist the art community with automatic
tools to analyze and better understand fine arts. Among other
benefits, a deeper understanding of fine arts has the potential to
make them more accessible to a broader population, both in terms of
fruition and creation, thus supporting the spread of culture.

Following the success of the previous three editions, the workshop
aims to provide an international forum for those wishing to present
advancements in state-of-the-art, innovative research, ongoing
projects, and academic and industrial reports on applying visual
pattern extraction and recognition for a better understanding and
fruition of fine arts. The workshop solicits contributions from
computer vision and pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and
image processing.

FAPER is promoted by the IAPR Technical Committee 19 (Computer Vision
for Cultural Heritage Applications
(https://www.cvl.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/IAPR-TC19/).
