10 CVC papers presented at ICPR2020

Several CVC researchers attended the 25^th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR’2020), which took place fully virtual on January 10-15^th, 2021 due to the pandemic. ICPR is the flagship conference of IAPR the International Association of Pattern Recognition and the premiere conference in pattern recognition, covering computer vision, image, sound, speech, sensor patterns processing and machine intelligence. On this year’s edition, CVC researchers presented 8 papers in total: 3 orals and 5 posters at the main conference and 2 papers at the Conference’s Workshops.

The papers presented at ICPR2020 were the following:
