The First Asian Conference on Pattern Recognition (ACPR'11) will be held on November 28‐30, 2011, Beijing, China. The conference aims at providing one major international forum for researchers in pattern recognition and related fields to share their new ideas and achievements. Submissions from other than the Asia‐Pacific regions are also highly encouraged. The Proceedings of ACPR will be published by the IEEE, and the electronic version will appear in the IEEE Xplore, which is indexed by popular databases such as the EI and ISTP. Topics of interest for paper submissions include, but are not limited to:

•Fundamentals of Pattern Recognition
Statistical and structural pattern recognition, artificial neural networks, support vector machines and kernel methods, feature selection and extraction, clustering and density estimation, machine learning

•Computer Vision and Image/Video Analysis
Image processing and segmentation, image fusion, shape analysis, 3D vision, motion analysis, object detection and recognition, activity recognition, image and video retrieval

•Speech and Language Processing
Speech recognition and synthesis, speaker verification, natural language processing, machine translation, text categorization and mining, multimedia retrieval

•Applications
Multi‐modal interaction, brain imaging, medical image analysis, document analysis and recognition, remote sensing image analysis, biometrics, bioinformatics, data mining, industrial applications
