TIARP 1998

For third occasion specialists of Pattern Recognition of America, this time also from Europe get together, with the purpose of exchanging experiences, to project new works of investigation, to look for the exchange of resources for the development of our discipline in the area. In summary, we meet with the objective of increasing our forces.

These meetings already begin to become a productive tradition. The two first encounters in Havana: 1995 and 1997, they gave the first impulse to this event that it is called to become one of the most important in the world in our environment, at least it is the interest of its initiators: the Institute of Cibernetics, Mathematics and Physics (ICIMAF), Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment of Cuba and the Center of Investigation in Computation (CIC) of the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico. Of those two first meetings came out new work relationships among specialists of different institutions and countries and investigation projects began in which is mixed technical of different profiles. In summary, you begin to reach part of the objectives of these Shops: the unit and with it the increasing of our knowledge.

The III Iberoamerican Shop of Pattern Recognition takes place in the Auditory Jaime Torres Bodet, of the National Polytechnic Institute, Mexico, D.F.. 52 reports were subjected by specialists from Colombia , Cuba, Spain, France, Guyana, Italy, Mexico, Portugal , Russia, Uruguay and Venezuela; of these 43 are presented in these Memories, after passing an exam by a Technical International Committee . These works were structured in five commissions: .

1. Morphologic Models and Vision by Computer (9 reports)

2 .Logic Combining models (8 reports)

3 .Systems and Applications (12 reports)

4. Neuronal nets and Genetic Algorithms (7 reports)

5. Image analysis (7 reports)

In this Shop seven tutorial courses were carried out . It is the first time that this type of activity is carried out in one of our Shops. These were:

1. Learning and identification of objects based on structural techniques, Alberto Sanfeliu, President of the Spanish Association of Recognition of shapes and Analysis of Images (AERFAI) Institute of Robotics and Computing. Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain.

2. Morphologic neuronal nets, Gerhard X. Ritter Department of Engineering and Science of Computation and Information University of Florida , USES.

3. Introduction to the generic algorithms, Angel Kuri Morales Center of Investigation in Computation, IPN, Mexico.

4.Techniques of voice recognition, Jesus Savage Carmona Engineering Faculty, UNAM, Mexico.

5. MATLAB for Pattern Recognition, Mario Farfas Elinos Center of Investigation, La Salle, Mexico .

6. Image Analysis in Medicine: Requirements and Application Examples, Armando J Padilha, President of the Association of Pattern Recognition of Portugal, Institute of Biomedical Ingineering, Porto, Portugal.

7. Logic Combining Approach to Pattern Recognition, José Ruiz Shulcloper, Center of Investigation in Calculation, IPN, Mexico, Institute of Cybernetics, Mathematics and Physics, Cuba.

As colophon of all these activities two Masterful Conferences were imparted by Doctors Alberto Sanfeliu, and Gerhard X. Ritter. Also, under the direction of the noted specialist on pattern Recognition , Rafael C. González from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USES, It was carried out a round table about those Applications of Pattern Recognition in which participated, together with Doctor González Doctors Angel Kuri Morales, Alberto Sanfeliu, Ernesto Bribiesca, from the Institute of Investigations of Applied Mathematics and Systems of the Autonomous National University of Mexico and José Ruiz Shulcloper.

We want to thank the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico, its Center of Investigation in Calculation, the Institute of Cybernetics, Mathematics and Physics of Cuba, the National Council of Science and Technology of Mexico, Engineering Faculty of the National University Autonomous of Mexico, the Center of Investigation of the University La Salle of Mexico, the body of 18 referees that were responsible for the ingrate and not very grateful work of studying 52 presented works and to decide those that should be presented in the Shop, the Department of Engineering in Computing Systems of the Technological University of Mexico, for the efforts carried out to take to have a happy ending in this meeting and in particular in the staff of Engineer Ignacio Flores Calvillo and Héctor Veyna Rodrfguez, the management of Publications of the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico, for the help in the publication of these Memories.
