Preface
The 18th Iberoamerican Congress on Pattern Recognition CIARP 2013 (Con-greso IberoAmericano de Reconocimiento de Patrones) is the yearly event of aseries of pioneer conferences on pattern recognition in the scientific communityactive in this field in Iberoamerican countries.
As has been the case for previous editions of the conference, CIARP 2013hosted worldwide participants with the aim to promote and disseminate ongo-ing research on mathematical methods and computing techniques for patternrecognition, in particular in biometrics, computer vision, image analysis, andspeech recognition, as well as their application in a number of diverse areas suchas industry, health, robotics, data mining, entertainment, space exploration,telecommunications, document analysis, and natural language processing andrecognition. Moreover, CIARP 2013 was a useful forum in which the scientificcommunity could exchange research experience, share new knowledge and in-crease cooperation among research groups in pattern recognition and relatedareas.
We like to underline that CIARP conferences have significantly contributedto the birth and growth of national associations for pattern recognition inIberoamerican countries that are already members of the International Associ-ation 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 areIberoamerican countries). After a rigorous blind reviewing process, where eachsubmission was reviewed by three highly qualified reviewers, 137 papers by 355authors from 31 countries were accepted. All the accepted papers have scientificquality above the overall mean rating.
As has been the case for the most recent editions of the conference, CIARP2013 was a single-track conference in which 22 papers where selected for presen-tation in oral sessions, while the remaining 115 papers were selected for posterpresentation with short poster teasers. Following the tradition of CIARP con-ferences, the selection of the presentation type does not signify at all a qualitygrading. CIARP 2013 presentations were grouped into nine sessions: Supervisedand Unsupervised Classification; Feature or Instance Selection for Classification;Image Analysis and Retrieval; Signals Analysis and Processing; Biometrics; Ap-plications 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 in-creasing, especially since the last 11 editions for which the proceedings have beenpublished in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Moreover, startingfrom CIARP 2008, authors of the best papers presented at the conference (orallyor 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 submis-sions and to stimulate deeper insight into the treated topics. For CIARP 2013two special issues of the International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artifi-cial Intelligence IJPRAI and in Intelligent Data Analysis IDA will be published.Moreover, a Special Section of Pattern Recognition Letters has been added toinclude the two papers of the researchers selected as the winners of the twoprizes given at CIARP 2013, namely the IAPR-CIARP Best Paper Prize andthe Aurora Pons-Porrata Medal, which is a new CIARP-Award.
The IAPR-CIARP Best Paper Prize has the aim of acknowledging and en-couraging excellence, originality and innovativeness of new models, methods andtechniques with an outstanding theoretical contribution and practical applica-tion to the field of pattern recognition and/or data mining. The IberoamericanCIARP-Award Aurora Pons-Porrata Medal is given to a living woman in recog-nition of her outstanding technical contribution to the field of pattern recognitionor data mining.
The selection of the winners is based on the wish of the authors to be consid-ered as possible candidates for the prizes, the evaluation and recommendationsof members of the Program Committee, for the IAPR-CIARP Best Paper Prize,and the proposal of the national associations on Pattern Recognition, for theAurora Pons-Porrata Medal, and the evaluation of the respective Award Com-mittees. The task of these committees, whose members are carefully chosen toavoid conflicts of interest, is to evaluate each paper nominated for the IAPR-CIARP Best Paper Prize by performing a second review process including thequality of the (poster or oral) presentation, and the recommendations for theAurora Pons-Porrata Medal. We express our gratitude to the members of thetwo Award Committees: Josef Kittler (Surrey University, UK), Jian Pei (SimonFraser University, Canada), Fabio Roli (University of Cagliari, Italy), TieniuTan (National Laboratory on Pattern Recognition of China), Isneri Talavera-Bustamante (Advanced Technologies Applications Center, CENATAV, Cuba),Rita Cucchiara (University of Modena-Reggio, Italy), and Rocio Gonzalez-Dıaz,(University of Seville, Spain).
Besides the 137 accepted submissions, the scientific program of CIARP 2013also 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”, “MultipleClassifier Systems”, “Fundamentals of Iris Recognition”, and “Discrete Methodsto Analyse and Represent 3D Digital Objects,” respectively.
During the conference, the Annual CIARP Steering Committee Meeting wasalso held.
CIARP 2013 was organized by the Advanced Technologies Applications Cen-ter (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 andComputer Sciences (SCMC), the Argentine Society for Pattern Recognition(SARP-SADIO), the Special Interest Group of the Brazilian Computer Soci-ety (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 Analy-sis (AERFAI), and the Portuguese Association for Pattern Recognition (APRP).We recognize and appreciate their valuable contributions to the success of CIARP2013.
We gratefully acknowledge the help of all members of the Organizing Com-mittee and of the Program Committee for their support and for the rigorouswork in the reviewing process.
We also wish to thank the members of the Local Committee for their unflag-ging work in the organization of CIARP 2013 that led to an excellent conferenceand proceedings.
Special thanks are due to all authors who submitted to CIARP 2013, includ-ing those of papers that could not be accepted.
Finally, we invite the pattern recognition community to attend CIARP 2014in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
