ICPR2020 call for Papers
ICPR 2020 is the premier world conference in Pattern Recognition. It covers both theoretical issues and applications of the discipline. We solicit original research for publication in the main conference. Topics of interest include all aspects of Pattern Recognition, not limited to the following detailed list:

Track 1: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning for Pattern Analysis

statistical, syntactic and structural pattern recognition
classification and clustering
artificial neural networks architectures and models
machine learning: symbolic learning, deep learning, transfer learning, active and ensemble learning, semi-supervised learning and spectral methods, reinforcement learning and temporal models
Track 2: Biometrics, Human Analysis and Behavior Understanding

Biometric systems and forensics applications:

hard biometrics: face, iris, gait, fingerprint, speech-based recognition
soft biometrics: skin, hair, facial and body measurements, behavior, facial expression-based recognition
multi-biometrics
closed set, open set, open world identity recognition
gesture, action and event recognition and tracking
human computer interaction: human body motion and gesture-based interaction, speech and natural language-based interaction
affective computing
pattern recognition for surveillance and security
Track 3: Computer Vision, Robotics and Intelligent Systems

early and low-level vision
physics-based vision and perceptual organization
stereo and multiple view geometry, 3D shape recovery
2D/3D object detection and recognition
motion, tracking and video analysis
