Preface
Welcome to the proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Computer
Analysis of Images and Patterns (CAIP 2021), which took place during September
28–30, 2021. The CAIP series of biennial international conferences is devoted to all
aspects of computer vision, image analysis and processing, pattern recognition, and
related fields. Previous conferences were held in Salerno, Ystad, Valletta, York,
Seville, Münster, Vienna, and Paris, amongst other places. Due to the ongoing
COVID-19pandemic,CAIP2021washeldasavirtualconference,buttheorganizing
committee were dedicated to offering the best possible online experience.
The scientific program of the conference consisted of plenary lectures and con-
tributed papers presented in a single track. A total of 129 papers were submitted to
CAIP2021,whichwerereviewedinasingle-blindprocesswithatleasttworeviewers
per paper. A total of 87 papers were accepted. The program featured the presentation
of these papers organized into the following 15 sessions:
Session 1: 3D Vision I
Session 2: 3D Vision II
Session 3: Biomedical Image and Pattern Analysis I: Segmentation
Session 4:Biomedical Image and Pattern Analysis II: Segmentation and
Classification
Session 5: Biomedical Image and Pattern Analysis III: Disease Diagnosis
Session 6: Deep Learning I: Classification
Session 7: Deep Learning II: Classification
Session 8: Deep Learning III: Image Processing and Analysis
Session 9: Machine Learning for Image and Pattern Analysis
Session 10: Feature Extraction
Session 11: Object Recognition
Session 12: Face and Gesture
Session 13: Guess the Age Contest
Session 14: Biometrics, Cryptography and Security
Session 15: Segmentation and Image Restoration
CAIP 2021 featured a contest on “Guess the Age: Age Estimation From Facial
Images with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks” organized by Antonio Greco,
University of Salerno, Italy. In addition, the CAIP 2021 program included distin-
guished plenary and keynote speakers from academia and industry who shared their
insights and accomplishments as well as their vision for the future of the field.
Moreover, CAIP 2021 included three tutorials as follows:
Tutorial 1: Discovering Patterns in the Road from Genotype to Phenotype
Tutorial 2: Video Summarization for Unpaired Videos
Tutorial 3: Large Scale Video Analytics.
