The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) is an international association of non-profit, scientific or professional organizations (being national, multi-national, or international in scope) concerned with pattern recognition, computer vision, and image processing in a broad sense. Normally, only one organization is admitted from any one country, and individuals interested in taking part in IAPR's activities may do so by joining their national organization.[1]
Publications
The IAPR publishes four main academic publications of record:
- The IAPR Newsletter is published quarterly
- Pattern Recognition Letters is published monthly by Elsevier (ISSN 0167-8655)
- Machine Vision and Applications is published bimonthly by Springer Verlag
- International Journal on Document Analysis and Recognition [2] is published quarterly by Springer Verlag
Conferences
IAPR Conferences
- The International Conference on Pattern Recognition in Bioinformatics
- The International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis
- The International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition
Awards
The IAPR Fellow Award
The prestigious IAPR Fellow Award was introduced in 1994 and since then is biennially conferred on persons to acknowledge their distinguished contributions to the field of pattern recognition and to IAPR activities.[5]
According to the Constitution and Bylaws of IAPR, the number of fellows elected every two years must not exceed 0.25% of the total IAPR membership. Both service to IAPR and scientific contributions to the field of pattern recognition are taken into account in the selection process.
The IAPR Fellow Committee is in charge to perform the selection process and solicits nominations of high quality.
ICDAR Awards
An ICDAR Award Program has been established to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of Document Analysis and Recognition in one or more of the following areas:
- Research
- Training of students
- Research/Industry interaction
- Service to the Profession
Every two years, two awards categories are presented. Namely, the Outstanding Achievement Award and the Young Researcher Award (less than 40 years old at the time the award is made). Each award consists of a token gift and a suitably inscribed certificate. The recipient of the Outstanding Achievement Award is also invited to deliver the Opening Keynote Speech at ICDAR.
A call for nominations is circulated by TC10 and TC11 about six months before an ICDAR takes place.
