</tt><tt>=== Aim & Scope ===</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Cultural heritage, in particular fine art, has invaluable
importance for the cultural, historic, and economic growth of
our societies. Fine art is developed primarily for aesthetic
purposes, and it is mainly concerned with paintings, sculptures,
and architectures. In the last few years, due to technology
improvements and drastically declining costs, a large-scale
digitization effort has been made, leading to a growing
availability of large digitized fine art collections. This
availability, along with the recent advancements in pattern
recognition and computer vision, has opened new opportunities
for computer science researchers to assist the art community
with automatic tools to analyse and further understand fine
arts. Among the other benefits, a deeper understanding of fine
arts has the potential to make them more accessible to a wider
population, both in terms of fruition and creation, thus
supporting the spread of culture.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>The ability to recognize meaningful patterns in fine art
inherently falls within the domain of human perception, and this
perception can be extremely hard to conceptualize. Thus,
visual-related features, such as those automatically learned by
deep learning models, can be the key to tackling problems of
extracting useful representations from low-level colour and
texture features. These representations can assist in various
art-related tasks, ranging from object detection in paintings to
artistic style categorization, useful for examples in museum and
art gallery websites.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>The aim of the workshop is to provide an international
forum for those who wish to present advancements in the state of
the art, innovative research, ongoing projects, and academic and
industrial reports on the application of visual pattern
extraction and recognition for the better understanding and
fruition of fine arts. The workshop solicits contributions from
diverse areas such as pattern recognition, computer vision,
artificial intelligence and image processing.</tt><tt><br>
