Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis.

IbPRIA is an international conference jointly organized by the Portuguese chapter, APRP, and the Spanish chapter, AERFAI, of the International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR).

The IbPRIA conference features original papers that have not been previously published. They are presented either orally or in the form of posters. The conference serves as a platform for research groups, engineers, and practitioners to share recent findings, algorithmic advancements, and potential future developments in the fields of pattern recognition and image analysis.

All papers that are accepted for presentation at IbPRIA are included in the conference proceedings and subsequently published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

IbPRIA 2005

Second Iberian Conference
IbPRIA 2005 (Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis) was the second of a series of conferences jointly organized every two years by the Portuguese and Spanish Associations for Pattern Recognition (APRP, AERFAI), with the support of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). This year, IbPRIA was hosted by the Institute for Systems and Robotics and the Geo-systems Center of the Instituto Superior Tecnico and it was held in Estoril, Portugal. It provided the opportunity to bring together researchers from all over the world to discuss some of the most recent advances in pattern recognition and all areas of video, image and signal processing. There was a very positive response to the Call for Papers for IbPRIA 2005. We received 292 full papers from 38 countries and 170 were accepted for presentation at the conference. The high quality of the scientific program of IbPRIA 2005 was due first to the authors who submitted excellent contributions and second to the dedicated collaboration of the international Program Committee and the other researchers who reviewed the papers. Each paper was reviewed by two reviewers, in a blind process. We would like to thank all the authors for submitting their contributions and for sharing their research activities.

IbPRIA 2011

5th Iberian Conference
IbPRIA 2011 (Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis) was the fifth edition of a series of similar events co-organized every two years by AERFAI (Asociacion Espanola de Reconocimiento de Formas y Analisis de Imagenes) and APRP (Associação Portuguesa de Reconhecimento de Padrões). Previous editions took place in Andraxt, Spain (2003), Estoril, Portugal (2005), Girona, Spain (2007) and Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal (2009). In 2011 the event was held in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, hosted by the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) and with the support of the ULPGC and ULPGC’s Institute SIANI (Institute for Intelligent Systems and Numerical Applications in Engineering). IbPRIA is a single-track conference that provides an international forum for presentation of ongoing work and new-frontier research in pattern recognition, computer vision, image processing and analysis, speech recognition and applications. It acts as a meeting point for research groups, engineers and practitioners to present recent results, algorithmic improvements, experimental evaluations and promising future directions in related topics. The response to the call for papers was positive. From 158 full papers submitted, 92 were accepted, 34 for oral presentation and 58 as posters. A high-level international Program Committee carried out the review stage, where each submission was reviewed in a double-blind process by at least two reviewers.

The conference benefited from the collaboration of three invited speakers: Marcello Pelillo from the Dipartimento di Informatica of Universita CaFoscari di Venezia, Irfan Essa from the School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Tech University, Atlanta, USA, and Sven Dickinson from the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Canada. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for their participation. The work of the eight Area Co-chairs, two for each of the four Conference Areas, was also very valuable.

IbPRIA 2009

4th Iberian Conference
IbPRIA 2009 (Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis) was the fourth edition of a series of conferences jointly organized by APRP (Associação Portuguesa de Reconhecimento de Padrões) and AERFAI (Asociacion Espanola de Reconocimiento de Formas y Analisis de Imagenes). This year, IbPRIA was held in Povoa de Varzim, Portugal, June 10–12, 2009, and was a local joint organization of ISR (Instituto de Sistemas e Robotica), INEB (Instituto de Engenharia Biomedica) and IEETA (Instituto de Engenharia Electronica e Telematica de Aveiro). It followed the three successful previous editions hosted by the Universitat de les Illes Balears (2003), Instituto de Sistemas e Robotica and Centro de Geo-Sistemas of Instituto Superior Tecnico (2005), and the Institute of Informatics and Applications of the University of Girona (2007). A total of 106 manuscripts, from 18 countries, were received. Each of these submissions was reviewed in a blind process by at least two reviewers, resulting in 62 accepted papers, 33 for oral presentation and 29 for poster presentation.

Oradores convidados

We were very honored to have as invited speakers such internationally recognized researchers as Samy Bengio from Google Inc., USA, Joachim Weickert from Saarland University, Germany, and Nando de Freitas from the University of British Columbia, Canada.

IbPRIA 2007

Third Iberian Conference
We welcome you to the 3rd Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (IbPRIA 2007), jointly promoted by AERFAI (Asociacion Espanola de Reconocimiento de Formas y Analisis de Imagenes) and APRP (Associção Portuguesa de Reconhecimento de Padroes). This year, IbPRIA was held in Girona, Spain, June 6–8, 2007, and was hosted by the Institute of Informatics and Applications of the University of Girona. It followed the two successful previous editions hosted by the Universitat de les Illes Balears (2003) and the Institute for Systems and Robotics and the Geo-systems Center of the Instituto Superior Tecnico (2005). A record number of 328 full paper submissions from 27 countries were received. Each of these submissions was reviewed in a blind process by two reviewers. The review assignments were determined by the four General Chairs, and the final decisions were made after the Chairs meeting in Girona, giving an overall acceptance rate of 47.5%. Because of the limited size of the conference, we regret that some worthy papers were probably rejected. In keeping with the IbPRIA tradition of having a single track of oral presentations, the number of oral papers remained in line with the previous IbPRIA editions, with a total of 48 papers. The number of poster papers was settled to 108. For the first time, some relevant related events were scheduled in parallel to the IbPRIA main conference according to the Call for Tutorials and Workshops: Antonio Torralba from MIT, USA and Aleix Martınez from Ohio State University, USA taught relevant tutorials about object recognition and Statistical Pattern Recognition, respectively, while the “Supervised and Unsupervised Ensemble Methods and Their Applications” workshop and the first edition of the “Spanish Workshop on Biometrics” were successfully developed.

Oradores convidados

We were very honored to have as invited speakers such internationally recognized researchers as Chris Willians from the University of Edinburgh, UK, Michal Irani from The Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel and Andrew Davison from Imperial College London, UK.

IbPRIA 2003

First Iberian Conference
 IbPRIA 2003 (Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis) was the first of a series of similar events organized every two years,by AERFAI (Asociacion Espanola de Reconocimento de Formas y Analisis de Imagenes) and APRP (Associação Portuguesa de Reconhecimento de Padrões). In 2003 it was hosted by the Universitat de les Illes Balears,Departament de Ciencies Matematiques i Informatica. It provides an international forum for presentation of ongoing research in computer vision, image analysis, pattern recognition and speech recognition. Taking into account the new frontiers of information society programs where images and audio are fundamental in the communication process, new applications are also being addressed, namely videoconferencing, motion detection, human tracking and speech applications. The response to the call for papers for this conference was very good. From 185 full papers submitted, 130 were accepted, 72 being presented as oral presentations and 58 as posters. The review process was carried out by the Program Committee, each being paper assessed by at least two reviewers.
