VIPERC-2027 Conference on Visual Pattern Extraction and Recognition for Cultural Heritage Understanding aims to be an international event, presenting academic and industry papers on big data, data mining and knowledge discovery, machine learning and deep learning, 3D modelling and simulation (structural, thermal, functional and acoustic analysis), software engineering, and, more generally, aspects related to digital transition for visual pattern extraction, analysis, and recognition to preserve cultural heritage.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Full papers are welcome.
