4th International Workshop on Fine Art Pattern Extraction and Recognition

                             *F A P E R*  2025

                    Rome, Italy, September 15 or 16, 2025

in conjunction with the 23st International Conference on Image Analysis 
and Processing (ICIAP 2025)

*submission deadline*: June 13, 2025 *extended*


*Aim & Scope*

Cultural heritage, especially fine arts, plays an invaluable role in our 
societies’ cultural, historical, and economic growth. Fine arts are 
primarily developed for aesthetic purposes and are mainly expressed 
through painting, sculpture, and architecture. In recent years, thanks 
to technological improvements and drastic cost reductions, a large-scale 
digitization effort has been made, which has led to the increasing 
availability of large digitized fine art collections. This availability, 
coupled with recent advances in computer vision, has disclosed new 
opportunities, especially for researchers in this field, to assist the 
art community with automatic tools to analyze and better understand fine 
arts. Among other benefits, a deeper understanding of fine arts has the 
potential to make them more accessible to a broader population, both in 
terms of fruition and creation, thus supporting the spread of culture.

Following the success of the previous three editions, the workshop aims 
to provide an international forum for those wishing to present 
advancements in state-of-the-art, innovative research, ongoing projects, 
and academic and industrial reports on applying visual pattern 
extraction and recognition for a better understanding and fruition of 
fine arts. The workshop solicits contributions from computer vision and 
pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and image processing.

FAPER is promoted by the IAPR Technical Committee 19 (Computer Vision 
for Cultural Heritage Applications 
(https://www.cvl.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/IAPR-TC19/).
