Everywhere around the world, industries and government processes are being more and more digitized. Document management systems and digital safe-boxes are particularly concerned by these questions, since documents generally remain the basis of many decisions for transactions, contracts and communication. Documents also remain the proofs for many legal issues. As a consequence, it becomes absolutely essential to develop computational forensic science applied to documents and to create the conditions for protecting documents, for confirming their authenticity and for detecting frauds.

The Second International Workshop on Computational Document Forensics aims at addressing the theoretical and practical works related to this field and creating a space for discussions between people working on this issues in different areas such as document and speech processing, digital security, biometry, forensic sciences.

PRL Special Issue on Hierarchical Representations: New Results and Challenges for Image Analysis (repost)

Important Dates: 

May 31, 2019   Paper Submission

Call for Papers: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pattern-recognition-letters/call-for-papers/special-issue-hierarchical-representations-new-results

Image representations based on hierarchical, scale-space models and other non-regular / irregular grids have become increasingly popular in image processing and computer vision over the past decades. Indeed, they allow a modeling of image contents at different (and complementary) levels of scales, resolutions and semantics. Methods based on such image representations have been able to tackle various complex challenges such as multi-scale image segmentation, image filtering, object detection, recognition, and more recently image characterization and understanding, potentially involving higher level of semantics.

The proposed virtual special issue will consider extended and updated versions of papers published at the recent ICPRAI 2018 conference as well as submissions from anybody proposing innovative methods in the field of image representation with emphasis, but not restricted to computer vision and image processing, medical imaging, 2D and 3D images, multi-modality, remote sensing image analysis, image indexation and understanding.

Topics

The main topics of this HIERARCHY virtual special issue include, but are not limited to:

  • image decomposition on the basis of frequency spaces (Fourier, wavelets, etc.)
  • hierarchies linked to the image space, mathematical morphology, connected operators
  • scale-space representations
  • non-regular / irregular grid image representations
  • multi-scale representation in computer-vision
  • evaluation of hierarchical image representations

The aim of this special issue is to popularize the use of hierarchical methods in image processing and analysis. Indeed, although these methods have become very popular in computer vision over the last 20 years, their potential impact is largely underexploited in image processing and analysis.

PRL Special Issue on Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Cultural Heritage (repost)

Important Dates: 

Jun 30, 2019   Paper Submission

Call for Papers: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pattern-recognition-letters/call-for-papers/pattern-recognition-and-artificial-intelligence-techniques

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly contaminating new areas of our life day by day. On the other hand, the management of Cultural Heritage is increasingly in need of new solutions to document, manage and visit (even virtually) the enormous amount of artifacts and information that come from the past. The contamination of these two worlds is now a reality and creates the bounds of the main topics of this Virtual Special Issue (VSI).

Currently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Pattern Recognition (PR) technologies are already employed in the fields of cultural heritage preservation and exploitation. From these fields, two main issues arise:

  • the information contained in digital representations of physical objects like scanned documents, scanned artifacts, maps, digital music, etc. are not easy to exploit and some kind of smart analysis is needed;
  • at the same time, the production of digital material such as augmented reality, Cultural Heritage games, robotics applications, etc. need innovative techniques and methodologies.

The above issues are leading AI and PR researchers to develop new methodologies and applications, which are able to analyze the available data or to generate new ones in a smart way (for augmented reality, serious games, etc.).

The aim of this special issue is to present recent advances in AI and PR for data analysis and representation in Cultural Heritage, bringing together the works of many experts in this multidisciplinary subject that involves different skills and knowledge, which span from the study of the cultural heritage to the development of PR/AI techniques for cultural heritage analysis, reconstruction and understanding. At the same time, the SI is aimed at highlighting the advances on these topics from a wide-angle perspective, as well as to stimulate new theoretical and applied research for better characterizing the state of the art in this subject.

Topics

We are interested in original research that addresses the multitude of issues in artificial intelligence for cultural heritage. Topics include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Ancient document analysis
  • Digital artifact capture, representation and manipulation
  • Automatic annotation of tangible and intangible heritage
  • Interactive software tools for cultural heritage applications
  • Multimedia music classification and reconstruction
  • Augmented and Virtual Reality applications
  • Image processing, classification and retrieval
  • Semantic segmentation
  • Serious Game for Cultural Heritage
  • Robotic applications
  • Ontology Learning for cultural heritage domain
  • Knowledge representations and reasoning
  • Techniques for exploring and interacting with repositories of digital artifacts

IAPR’s Industrial Liaison Committee is pleased to announce the opening of its Company Internship Brokerage List.

The web page lists internship opportunities for students at different levels of education and specialism. We expect many additional internship opportunities to be listed here as the community becomes more aware of the site.
