Welcome to the IAPR’s Technical Committee 10 – Graphics Recognition!
We promote interaction and/or collaboration among researchers in document image analysis, with a particular focus on graphics recognition. Graphics Recognition is an exciting field of pattern recognition, whose main relevant topics of interest include:
- Analysis and interpretation of graphical elements (symbols, logos, stamps, annotations, drawings) in engineering documents, historical manuscripts, comics, maps, music scores, patents, medical records, and medical informatics.
- Techniques and applications, such as raster-to-vector conversion, graphics-based information retrieval, recognition, and indexing.
- Forensics analysis in graphic documents (e.g., writer identification and verification).
- Development and evaluation of systems for graphic document interpretation, including datasets and performance metrics.
- Advanced topics, such as 3D models from 2D views, sketch recognition, digital ink processing, and camera-based or born-digital graphics recognition.
TC10 actively organizes and co-sponsors various international workshops and conferences in graphics recognition, and ICDAR conference and the GREC workshop are the two flagship events.
The TC10 website offers up-to-date information on conferences, workshops, summer schools, recent publications, databases, and competitions related to graphics recognition. Additionally, periodic electronic newsletters featuring news and updates of interest to the research community are sent to TC10 members. To join TC10, complete the membership form on the website under the “Membership” section. We are looking to build a larger community.
