The International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing is organized every two years by the Italian group of researchers affiliated to IAPR (GIRPR), with the aim to bring together researchers in image processing and pattern recognition from around the world.
The main target of ICIAP 2009, the 15th edition in the series, will be to provide a place in which the most recent approaches and goals in image analysis can be presented and discussed.
