Preface

The 18th Iberoamerican Congress on Pattern Recognition CIARP 2013 (Congreso IberoAmericano de Reconocimiento de Patrones) is the yearly event of a
series of pioneer conferences on pattern recognition in the scientic community
active in this eld in Iberoamerican countries.
As has been the case for previous editions of the conference, CIARP 2013
hosted worldwide participants with the aim to promote and disseminate ongoing research on mathematical methods and computing techniques for pattern
recognition, in particular in biometrics, computer vision, image analysis, and
speech recognition, as well as their application in a number of diverse areas such
as industry, health, robotics, data mining, entertainment, space exploration,
telecommunications, document analysis, and natural language processing and
recognition. Moreover, CIARP 2013 was a useful forum in which the scientic
community could exchange research experience, share new knowledge and increase cooperation among research groups in pattern recognition and related
areas.
We like to underline that CIARP conferences have signicantly contributed
to the birth and growth of national associations for pattern recognition in
Iberoamerican countries that are already members of the International Association for Pattern Recognition, IAPR, (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Mexico),
or will soon be applying to become IAPR members (Colombia, Peru, Uruguay).
CIARP 2013 received 262 contributions from 37 countries (12 of which are
Iberoamerican countries). After a rigorous blind reviewing process, where each
submission was reviewed by three highly qualied reviewers, 137 papers by 355
authors from 31 countries were accepted. All the accepted papers have scientic
quality above the overall mean rating.
As has been the case for the most recent editions of the conference, CIARP
2013 was a single-track conference in which 22 papers where selected for presentation in oral sessions, while the remaining 115 papers were selected for poster
presentation with short poster teasers. Following the tradition of CIARP conferences, the selection of the presentation type does not signify at all a quality
grading. CIARP 2013 presentations were grouped into nine sessions: Supervised
and Unsupervised Classication; Feature or Instance Selection for Classication;
Image Analysis and Retrieval; Signals Analysis and Processing; Biometrics; Applications of Pattern Recognition; Mathematical Theory of Pattern Recognition;
Video Analysis; and Data Mining.
We would like to point out that the reputation of CIARP conferences is increasing, especially since the last 11 editions for which the proceedings have been
published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Moreover, starting
from CIARP 2008, authors of the best papers presented at the conference (orally
or as posters) have been invited to submit extended versions of their papers to

VI

Preface

well-known journals so as to enhance the visibility of their conference submissions and to stimulate deeper insight into the treated topics. For CIARP 2013
two special issues of the International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Articial Intelligence IJPRAI and in Intelligent Data Analysis IDA will be published.
Moreover, a Special Section of Pattern Recognition Letters has been added to
include the two papers of the researchers selected as the winners of the two
prizes given at CIARP 2013, namely the IAPR-CIARP Best Paper Prize and
the Aurora Pons-Porrata Medal, which is a new CIARP-Award.
The IAPR-CIARP Best Paper Prize has the aim of acknowledging and encouraging excellence, originality and innovativeness of new models, methods and
techniques with an outstanding theoretical contribution and practical application to the eld of pattern recognition and/or data mining. The Iberoamerican
CIARP-Award Aurora Pons-Porrata Medal is given to a living woman in recognition of her outstanding technical contribution to the eld of pattern recognition
or data mining.
The selection of the winners is based on the wish of the authors to be considered as possible candidates for the prizes, the evaluation and recommendations
of members of the Program Committee, for the IAPR-CIARP Best Paper Prize,
and the proposal of the national associations on Pattern Recognition, for the
Aurora Pons-Porrata Medal, and the evaluation of the respective Award Committees. The task of these committees, whose members are carefully chosen to
avoid conicts of interest, is to evaluate each paper nominated for the IAPRCIARP Best Paper Prize by performing a second review process including the
quality of the (poster or oral) presentation, and the recommendations for the
Aurora Pons-Porrata Medal. We express our gratitude to the members of the
two Award Committees: Josef Kittler (Surrey University, UK), Jian Pei (Simon
Fraser University, Canada), Fabio Roli (University of Cagliari, Italy), Tieniu
Tan (National Laboratory on Pattern Recognition of China), Isneri TalaveraBustamante (Advanced Technologies Applications Center, CENATAV, Cuba),
Rita Cucchiara (University of Modena-Reggio, Italy), and Rocio Gonzalez-Daz,
(University of Seville, Spain).
Besides the 137 accepted submissions, the scientic program of CIARP 2013
also included the contributions of three outstanding invited speakers, namely,
Jian Pei (Simon Fraser University of Canada), Fabio Roli (University of Cagliari,
Italy) and Tieniu Tan (National Laboratory on Pattern Recognition of China).
The papers of these two last keynotes appear in these proceedings. Furthermore,
the three invited speakers and Gabriella Sanniti di Baja gave four tutorials on
Mining Uncertain and Probabilistic Data for Big Data Analytics, Multiple
Classier Systems, Fundamentals of Iris Recognition, and Discrete Methods
to Analyse and Represent 3D Digital Objects, respectively.
During the conference, the Annual CIARP Steering Committee Meeting was
also held.
CIARP 2013 was organized by the Advanced Technologies Applications Center (CENATAV) and the Cuban Association for Pattern Recognition (ACRP)
with the endorsement of the International Association for Pattern Recogni-

tion (IAPR), and the sponsorship of the Cuban Society for Mathematics and
Computer Sciences (SCMC), the Argentine Society for Pattern Recognition
(SARP-SADIO), the Special Interest Group of the Brazilian Computer Society (SIGPR-SBC), the Chilean Association for Pattern Recognition (AChiRP),
the Mexican Association for Computer Vision, Neural Computing and Robotics
(MACVNR), the Spanish Association for Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (AERFAI), and the Portuguese Association for Pattern Recognition (APRP).
We recognize and appreciate their valuable contributions to the success of CIARP
2013.
We gratefully acknowledge the help of all members of the Organizing Committee and of the Program Committee for their support and for the rigorous
work in the reviewing process.
We also wish to thank the members of the Local Committee for their unagging work in the organization of CIARP 2013 that led to an excellent conference
and proceedings.
Special thanks are due to all authors who submitted to CIARP 2013, including those of papers that could not be accepted.
Finally, we invite the pattern recognition community to attend CIARP 2014
in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
