RECPAD 2017 - THE 23rd PORTUGUESE CONFERENCE ON PATTERN RECOGNITION
ABOUT:
Welcome to RecPad 2017, the 23th edition of the Portuguese Conference on Pattern Recognition, sponsored by the APRP (Associação Portuguesa de Reconhecimento de Padrões - Portuguese Association for Pattern Recognition).
This year RecPad is held at the Portuguese Military Academy, Amadora (Lisbon) on October 27, 2017.
Authors are invited to submit two (2) pages of extended abstracts on topics such as artificial intelligence, image processing and machine vision. Papers covering theoretical and/or applied work on computer vision are invited. All papers will be reviewed "double blind", normally by two members of our Scientific Committee. The reviewers will judge submissions on originality, theoretical and/or experimental results, quality of evaluation, and presentation. The accepted papers will be compiled and distributed only in electronic format.
RecPad 2017 is a single-track meeting with only poster presentations and one keynote speaker.
RecPad 2017 is the Portuguese Conference on Pattern Recognition, sponsored by the APRP (Portuguese Association for Pattern Recognition). RecPad 2017 will take place at Portuguese Military Academy, Campus Amadora (Lisbon), Portugal, on October 27th, 2017. It is a one-day conference, with an invited talk and poster sessions.
RecPad 2017 promotes the collaboration between the Portuguese scientific community in the fields of Pattern Recognition, Image Analysis and Processing, Soft Computing, and related areas with example topics such as:
♦ Biometrics;
♦ Character recognition;
♦ Classification clustering ensembles and multi-classifiers;
♦ Data mining and big data;
♦ Feature extraction, discretization and selection;
♦ Fuzzy logic and fuzzy image processing;
♦ Gesture recognition;Hybrid methods;
♦ Image description and registration;
♦ Image enhancement, restoration and segmentation;
♦ Image understanding;Image fusion;
♦ Information theory;Intelligent systems;
♦ Machine vision;Neural network architectures;
♦ Object recognition;
♦ Pattern recognition applications;
♦ Sensors and sensor fusion;
♦ Soft computing techniques;
♦ Statistical methods;
♦ Syntactical methods.
The works should be submitted as extended abstracts for consideration by the Scientific Committee. The accepted papers will be compiled and distributed only in electronic format. The program of the conference is designed to allow travelling to Amadora (Lisbon) in the same day of the conference.
It is an ideal time for socializing and sharing experiences between young and senior researchers, showcasing their work and looking ahead to the future.
PDF version of the Call for Papers is available HERE.
We look forward to seeing you in Amadora (Lisbon).

Paul Scheunders, Vision Lab, University of Antwerp, Belgium.
Biography: Paul Scheunders received the Ph.D. degree in physics, with work in the field of statistical mechanics, from the University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium, in 1990. In 1992, he became a research associate with the Vision Lab, Department of Physics, University of Antwerp, where he is currently a professor. His current research interest includes remote sensing and in particular hyperspectral image processing. He has published over 150 papers in international journals and proceedings in the field of image processing, pattern recognition and remote sensing.
Paul Scheunders is associate editor of the IEEE Transactions in Geoscience and Remote Sensing, and has served as program committee member in numerous international conferences. He is senior member of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society.
Keynote title: Machine Learning for remote sensing image analysis
Keynote abstract: In this talk, he will describe the state of the art on the development and application of machine learning methodologies in the remote sensing domain. He will also describe the specific remote sensing analysis problems that are typically handled by machine learning. On important type of sensor is the hyperspectral image sensor. Hyperspectral image sensors have been important tools for the characterization of materials based on their light reflectance mainly in remote sensing but in other domains as well. Hyperspectral images contain many spectral bands, each revealing the earth surface reflected light at a particular wavelength. These hyperspectral images require specific image processing and analysis methodologies. In this talk, an overview will be given of recent developments of machine learning in hyperspectral image analysis. Some of the strategies that are elaborated on are kernel methods, neural network methods, manifold learning methods, structured output methods, ensemble learning methods and sparse learning methods.
