ICPR 2014

An activity which should specifically be mentioned is the organization of the 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR 2014). The ICPR conference is the main event of the International Asociation of Pattern recognition (IAPR, http://www.iapr.org/).

ICPR 2014 was held on August 24-28, 2014, at the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre in Stockholm, Sweden. Despite its long history -- the series started in 1973 -- this was the first time the conference was held in Sweden. ICPR 2014 was hosted by the Swedish Society for Automated Image Analysis (SSBA) and supported by Linköping University, Lund University, and Uppsala University. A majority of the CBA staff were active in roles from positions of responsibility such as Finance Chair, Local Arrangements Chair and Invited Speakers Chair to many volunteers. It was concluded that ICPR 2014 was a successful event with as many as 1215 participants from 58 countries attending.

Scientifically, ICPR 2014 had five tracks:

• Computer Vision
• Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning
• Image, Speech, Signal and Video Processing
• Document Analysis, Biometrics and Pattern Recognition Applications
• Biomedical Image Analysis

For each track, there was an Invited Speaker and all together there was approximately 200 oral presentations and 600 poster presentations. The accepted papers presented at the conference are published by IEEE Explore in the ICPR 2014 proceedings.
