Call for Contests

The ICPR-2010 Contest Chairs invite contest proposals for the International Conference on Pattern Recognition 2010 (www.icpr2010.org).

The ICPR-2010 contests will provide a setting where participants will have the opportunity to evaluate their algorithms using publicly available datasets and standard performance assessment methodologies, publish their results in the proceedings of an internationally acclaimed conference, and discuss technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters active exchange of ideas. Members from all segments of the pattern recognition community are invited to submit contest proposals for review.

Each proposal will be assessed for its scientific content, proposed structure and overall relevance. Contest organizers will be responsible for the infrastructure of the contest (including provision of data and evaluation of results), inviting participants and ensuring their participation, and preparing an overview paper of the results. Furthermore, individual results of the contests can be presented at separate workshops at ICPR-2010 provided that these workshops do not divert papers from the main conference.
