The Chinese Conference on Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision (PRCV) is the merger of two previous conferences, the Chinese Conference on Pattern Recognition (CCPR) and the Chinese Conference on Computer Vision (CCCV). It is set to be the most prestigious domestic academic conference in the field of pattern recognition and computer vision, and is co-sponsored by Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAAI), China Computer Federation (CCF), Chinese Association of Automation (CAA) and China Society of Image and Graphics (CSIG).

The inaugural edition of PRCV will be held during November 23rd-26th, 2018 in Guangzhou, China, hosted by Sun Yat-sen University.

The conference will bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of pattern recognition and computer vision to share the latest achievements. We call for high-quality original research papers (in English). The accepted papers will be presented at the conference and included in the proceedings published by Springer’s LNCS (indexed by EI and ISTP). The Springer provides an amount of EUR 1,000 for a PRCV 2018 Best Paper Award(s). Some selected papers will undergo further peer-review for publication in high standard SCI journals.
