CIARP 2003
The congress has been organized by the
Institute of Cybernetics, Mathematics and Physics of Cuba (ICIMAF) and the Center
for Computing Research of the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico (CIC),
and sponsored by the University of La Salle, Mexico, the University of Oriente,
Cuba, the Polytechnic Institute “José A. Echevarría”,
Cuba, the Central University of Las Villas, Cuba, the National Center of Scientific
Research, Cuba, the Cuban Association for Pattern Recognition (ACRP), the Portuguese
Association for Pattern Recognition (APRP), the Spanish Association for Pattern
Recognition and Image Analysis (AERFAI), the Mexican Society for Artificial
Intelligence (SMIA), and the International Association for Pattern Recognition
(IAPR).
This year the event has captured the
attention of a significant group of researchers than have sent more than 140
full papers from 19 countries. 83 papers have been accepted as full papers and
are included in this proceeding volume, and 28 papers have been accepted as
poster papers. The review process has been carried out by the Program Committee,
each being paper assessed by at least two reviewers, who in conjunction with
other reviewers have prepared an excellent selection of the ongoing research.
We are especially indebted with them for their effort and quality of the reviews.
Three professors have been invited to
give the keynote address in topics of computer vision, robot vision and pattern
classification, Dr. Rangachar Kasturi, IAPR President, and professor of the
Department of Computer Science and Engineering of The Pennsylvania State University,
Dr. Gerhard Ritter, Chairman of the Computer and Information Science and Engineering
Department of the University of Florida, and Dr. Alberto Sanfeliu, past President
of AERFAI, and professor in the Institute the Robotics of the Polytechnic University
of Catalonia.
We want to appreciate very much to all
the members of the organizing committee for their intensive work that has allowed
an excellent conference and proceedings. We hope that this congress will create
a fruitful precedence for the future CIARP events.
