Call for Nominations for the 2018 J. K. Aggarwal Prize

April 30, 2018, is the deadline for nominations and endorsement forms for the 2018 J. K. Aggarwal Prize to be presented at ICPR 2018 in August in Beijing.

This prize is given in honor of Professor J.K. Aggarwal, who is widely recognized for his extensive contributions to the field of pattern recognition and for his participation in IAPR’s activities.

The recipient is a young scientist, under the age of 40 at the date of the deadline for nominations, who has brought a substantial contribution to a field that is relevant to the IAPR community and whose research work has had a major impact on the field.

Please see the  J. K. Aggarwal Prize page for forms and details.

Call for Nominations – Maria Petrou Prize

The Maria Petrou Prize is to be awarded biennially at ICPRs to a living female scientist/engineer who has made substantial contributions to the field of Pattern Recognition (or a closely related field), and whose past contributions, current research activity and future potential may be regarded as a model to both aspiring and established researchers. This Prize honors the memory of Professor Maria Petrou as a scientist and engineer of the first rank, and particularly in her role as a pioneer for women researchers and highly successful role model. She is widely recognized for her extensive contributions to the field of image processing and pattern recognition. She also made significant contributions to the growth of IAPR, covering significant leadership roles. The Prize consists of a suitably inscribed plaque and a cash amount.

Deadline for Submission of Nomination and Endorsement Forms is April 5, 2018.

Please see the Maria Petrou Prize page for details.

 

Call for Nominations – KS Fu Prize

The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) is pleased to announce a call for nominations for the King-Sun Fu Prize in honor of the memory of Professor King-Sun Fu. This prize is given biennially to a living person in recognition of an outstanding technical contribution to the field of pattern recognition. 

The deadline for Nominations is February 2, 2018. All information is found in the 2018 King-Sun Fu Prize Call for Nominations.
