GCPR 2014 is the 36th annual symposium of the German Association for Pattern Recognition
(DAGM, www.dagm.de). This conference series was among the oldest and largest domestic
conferences on pattern recognition, machine learning, image processing, and computer vision.
The conference language is English. To reflect the internationalization of the annual DAGM
symposia in the past years, the former name “DAGM Symposium” has been changed to
German Conference on Pattern Recognition (GCPR) in 2013.
The conference addresses recent advances in theory, methodology, and applications of
pattern recognition. Authors are invited to submit high-quality papers presenting previously
unpublished work. Submitted papers will be reviewed based on the criteria of originality,
soundness, empirical evaluation, and presentation. In the long tradition of this conference
series, the single track program and poster sessions will provide ample opportunity for openminded
discussions and interaction. The conference will also include tutorials, workshops, and
a Young Researchers’ Forum.
The scope of GCPR 2014 includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
 Image processing, analysis, and computer vision
 Machine learning and pattern recognition
 Mathematical foundations, statistical data analysis and models
 Computational photography and confluence of vision and graphics
 Biomedical image processing and analysis
 Applications
Publication:
Papers must be formatted in the LNCS format. Paper submission instructions can be found at
the conference website. All manuscripts will be subject to a double-blind review process. The
conference proceedings are planned to be published in the Springer LNCS series. The best
contributions will receive GCPR awards.
Important dates (tentative):
