It is our pleasure to announce The First Iranian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (PRIA2013). This Conference will take place on March 6-8, 2013, in the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Birjand, Birjand, Iran. PRIA2013 conference is supported by the Iranian Society of Machine Vision and Image Processing (ISMVIP). PRIA2013 would be a multi track conference and will include keynote presentations by famous national and international academics of the field and a series of workshops, competitions, along with the typical oral and poster sessions. International submissions to PRIA2013 are welcome, and we invite researchers from all over the world to submit their original and unpublished works to PRIA2013. All authors are invited to submit full length, high quality, original papers in the areas of Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning, Image Analysis, Machine Vision and other related areas to PRIA2013. All papers could be submitted and presented in both English and Persian (Farsi) languages. The topics of interest at PRIA2013 include, but are not limited to:


1. Pattern Analysis and Pattern Recognition
