Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my honor and privilege to present the scientific program of the 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition. ICPR 2014 is hosted by the Swedish Society for Automated Image Analysis (SSBA) and supported by the universities of Linkoping, Lund and Uppsala.ICPR 2014 has five scientific tracks: Computer Vision; Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning; Image, Speech, Signal and Video Processing; Document Analysis, Biometrics and Pattern Recognition Applications; and Biomedical Image Analysis. For each track there is an Invited Speaker who will share their deep knowledge and experience with us. The perhaps most apparent novelty in this ICPR is the change from four to six paged papers, which is significantly more than a 50% increase in the actual content, disregarding the title, abstract and reference list. Our hope and belief is that this has improved the possibility for the reviewers to make well-justified evaluations of the manuscripts, and also improved the readability of the final papers and, as a consequence, improved the general quality of the accepted papers.The organization of ICPR 2014 would not have been possible without the generous contributions by our major partners, The City of Stockholm, SSBA, eSSENCE and SeRC. Also the financial contributions of our other partners and exhibitors as well as the technical co-sponsorship by IEEE Computer Society are gratefully acknowledged, and so is the support and advices from IAPR and the ICPR Liaison Committee. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to the Program and Publication Chairs, the Track Chairs, Area Chairs and all reviewers for their great efforts in putting this scientific program together. And, perhaps most of all, I want to thank all the contributing authors who filled it with contents of highest scientific quality. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all attendees. Without your presence, there simply wouldn't be any conference.

Special issue on ICPR 2014 awarded papers

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- We, the Guest Editors of this special issue of Pattern Recognition Letters are pleased to share these contributions with you. The papers included here are based on work from the 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition (IAPR) in Stockholm, Sweden, held August 24–28, 2014. The papers selected for this special issue were those winning one of the IAPR awards, as well as one paper by a former student of the winner of the KS Fu Prize, Prof. Jitendra Malik. Taken together, this body of work represents some of the finest research being conducted by the IAPR community worldwide, it builds on a rich legacy of accomplishment by the entire community, and it offers a view to the future, to where we are going as a scientific community.For each of the award-winning papers, the authors were asked to revise and extend their contributions to full journal length and to provide true added value vis-à-vis the original conference submission. In some cases, the authors elected to modify the titles slightly, and in some cases the list of authors has also been modified. The resulting manuscripts were sent out for full review by a different set of referees than those who reviewed the conference versions. The process, including required revisions, was in accordance with the standing editorial policy of Pattern Recognition Letters, resulting in the final versions accepted and appearing here. These are thoroughly vetted, high-caliber scientific contributions.It has been our honor to serve as Guest Editors for this special issue. We would like to thank the Editors of Pattern Recognition Letters for allowing us this opportunity. We are especially grateful to Dr. Gabriella Sanniti di Baja for her enthusiasm, support, and her willingness to keep prodding us along to bring the special issue through to completion. We would also like to thank all of those who reviewed the papers, both originally for the conference and subsequently for the journal, and those who served on the ICPR awards and KS Fu Prize committees.Finally, we express our heartfelt gratitude to all of the authors for taking the time to prepare these versions for our collective enlightenment, sharing their knowledge, innovation, and discoveries with the rest of us.
