3rd International Workshop on Fine Art Pattern Extraction and Recognition *F A P E R* 2023 Udine, Italy, September 11, 2023 _________________________________________________________________________ in conjunction with the 22st International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing (ICIAP 2023) https://sites.google.com/view/faper2023
*submission deadline*: June 23, 2023
*Aim & Scope* Cultural heritage, especially fine arts, plays an invaluable role in our societies’ cultural, historical, and economic growth. Fine arts are primarily developed for aesthetic purposes and are mainly expressed through painting, sculpture, and architecture. In recent years, thanks to technological improvements and drastic cost reductions, a large-scale digitization effort has been made, which has led to the increasing availability of large digitized fine art collections. This availability, coupled with recent advances in computer vision, has disclosed new opportunities, especially for researchers in this field, to assist the art community with automatic tools to analyze and better understand fine arts. Among other benefits, a deeper understanding of fine arts has the potential to make them more accessible to a broader population, both in terms of fruition and creation, thus supporting the spread of culture. Following the success of the first two editions (2021, 2022), the workshop aims to provide an international forum for those wishing to present advancements in state-of-the-art, innovative research, ongoing projects, and academic and industrial reports on applying visual pattern extraction and recognition for a better understanding and fruition of fine arts. The workshop solicits contributions from computer vision and pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and image processing.
*Topics* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: – Computer vision and multimedia data processing for fine arts – Creative AI – 3D reconstruction of historical artifacts – Point cloud segmentation and classification for cultural heritage – Content-based retrieval in the art domain – Smart interactive experiences in cultural sites – Visual question answering and artwork captioning – Art history and computer vision – Projects, products, or prototypes for cultural heritage restoration, preservation, and fruition
*Workshop modality* The workshop will be held in presence.
*Submission guidelines* All submissions will be handled electronically through CMT via a link that will be shared soon. For the preparation of the paper, please follow the guidelines provided by Springer. The maximum number of pages is 12, including references. Papers will be selected through a double-blind review process, considering originality, significance, clarity, soundness, relevance, and technical content. Once accepted, at least one author is expected to attend the event and give an oral presentation of the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of ICIAP 2023, which Springer will publish as Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
*Important Dates*– Workshop submission deadline: June 23, 2023 – Author notification: July 21, 2023 – Camera-ready submission: July 31, 2023 – Registration: TBA – Workshop date: TBA
