TIARP 1995

The I Ibero-American Shop on Pattern Recognition TIARP' 95 was organized with the objective of creating a platform for the exchange of information , experiences and ideas for the development of the discipline, extended in all lines of work in our region. This purpose doesn't obey neither egocentric nor protagonic feelings . For our towns it is made more and more necessary that their scientists reverts in their countries the fruit of their knowledge, we need to increase the number of our specialists and to promote not only the scientific development of them but also the introduction of the models and tools of Pattern Recognition in the production and the national services.

It is common to identify the Pattern Recognition with the area of Shape Recognition and we have the tendency to refer to Vision for Computer, Remote Perception, Prosecution of Images, for example, as different areas and in fact each one works in their matters without the enough interaction that would arise fruits of bigger span. Practically in all our countries the isolation situation and individual work is common and also the way of focusing our thought exclusively toward the developed countries. If we observe the situation in Europe, United States, the Asian Countries, we can appreciate the existence of Scientific Societies of Patter Recognition , periodical events and systematic publications. It is obvious that they are three of the factors that impel the development of any discipline. For this it is required a mass criteria of specialists and a will of union. I am fully discouraged of the existence of a scientific potential appropriate so that in our area the mentioned factors can exist. It is still exist the aspect of the will of union that we all know doesn't depend on a single man, neither on a small group, it is required the will of all.

This event that we have organized in Havana seeks mainly to promote the union among our colleagues: therefore we have promoted the term Pattern Recognition in the unifying sense of our peculiar areas of work. We want that the specialists of Prosecution and Analysis of Images and Signs of Vision for Computer, of Remote Perception, of the ones that develop mathematical models for the solution of problems of classification , making decisions, that guide toward the Pattern Recognition, techniques of other areas , as the Artificial Intelligence, in the way they feel identified with Pattern Recognition ; therefore we exhort the creation of Societies of Pattern Recognition in each of our countries and to the formation of the Ibero-American Society of Pattern Recognition (SIARP); therefore we invite all the specialists from the area to the systematic celebration of Ibero-American Shops of Pattern Recognition and in fact we summon that in 1997 we celebrate the 11 Ibero-American Shop of Pattern Recognition in Havana; therefore we threaten the creation of an Ibero-American Center of Pattern Recognition (CIARP) that has as an essential function, the formation of specialists of high level on Pattern Recognition and the development of investigations theoretic ones and applied ones. This idea at the present time is projected to be developed in the Technological Institute of Toluca, Metepec, Mexico for which it is asking for the collaboration of all.

It was an agreement of the participants of the Shop to develop this event, starting from 1997, in odd years in Havana and in the even in another country of the area, that’s why we wait for the good welcome of this proposal in our scientific community and we can be in Havana to initiate together the way to the materialization of these dreams.

In this volume, courtesy of the Department of Calculation of the Technological Institute of Toluca, Metepec, some of the reports have been selected to be presented to the I Shop that according to the referees opinions, they have a bigger interest.

We thank the participants of the I Shop, the sponsors of the event, the referees and in Peculiar to Doctor Julio Mendoza, former- academic secretary of the CINVESTAVIPN, the MSc Alain González, boss of the Division of the Postgraduate Technological Institute of Toluca, Metepec and to its director Doctor Tomas Palomino, for the whole support given and exhort them to continue supporting the development of pattern Recognition in our region.
