===================================

We are pleased to announce VisionDocs: 4th Workshop on Computer Vision Systems for Document Analysis and Recognition, held in conjunction with the IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV) 2027, at Disney Springs, Buena Vista, Orlando, Florida, USA, on January 4 or 5, 2027.

Workshop Overview

The rapid growth of foundation models and multimodal AI has transformed document understanding into a key research area with broad scientific and industrial relevance.

VisionDocs aims to bring together researchers working on computer vision, multimodal learning, and document intelligence to discuss the next generation of AI systems for document understanding. We particularly welcome contributions on vision-language foundation models, agentic document AI, generative approaches, efficient adaptation, and robust and trustworthy document intelligence.

Call for Papers

Research papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following topic areas:

• Document image processing
• Physical and logical layout analysis
• Text and symbol recognition
• Handwriting recognition
• Document analysis systems
• Document classification
• Recognition of tables and formulas
• Data-efficient document analysis
• Document synthesis
• Document visual question answering
• Extracting document semantics
• Structured document generation
• Historical document analysis
• Agentic systems for document understanding
• Multi-modal document analysis
• Datasets and benchmarks for document analysis

Submission

We invite submissions of original and unpublished work related to the workshop themes:

• Regular papers: up to 8 pages + references. Accepted regular papers will be published in the WACV 2027 Workshop Proceedings.
• Short papers: up to 4 pages + references. Accepted short papers will be published on the VisionDocs website only and will not be included in the WACV proceedings.

All submissions must follow the WACV 2027 formatting guidelines and be prepared for double-blind review.

Accepted papers must be presented in person during the workshop, either as oral presentations or posters.
