Cultural heritage, especially fine arts, plays an invaluable role in the cultural, historical and economic growth of our societies. 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 an increasing availability of large digitized fine art collections. This availability, coupled with recent advances in pattern recognition and computer vision, has disclosed new opportunities, especially for researchers in these fields, to assist the art community with automatic tools to further analyze and understand fine arts. Among 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.
Following the success of the first edition, organized in conjunction with ICPR 2020, the aim of the workshop is to provide an international forum for those wishing 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 a 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.
