SIBGRAPI - Conference on Graphics, Patterns and Images (formerly Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing)  is a traditional forum bringing together researchers, students and professionals in Computer Graphics, Image Processing, Computer Vision, Visualization, Pattern Recognition and related areas. It is annually promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) through its CEGRAPI committee.

The conference started in 1988 as a small symposium and has grown in importance along the years. Since 1996 the Proceedings are available at IEEE Xplore, and each year special efforts have been made to publish extended versions of the best papers in well-qualified journals of related areas. 

SIBGRAPI 2013 will be held on August 5-9, in the historical city of Arequipa, Peru. For the first time outside Brazil! Arequipa is placed in the Southern Coastal region of Peru just below the edge of the Altiplano at 2,335 meters above sea level and surrounded by three impressive volcanoes. Arequipa is also known as The White City (Ciudad Blanca) because of its many colonial-era Spanish buildings built of “sillar”, a pearly white volcanic rock. The city is about an hour away by plane from Lima and 35 minutes away of Cuzco. 

Student researchers and professionals are invited to participate by submitting original works in all areas of Computer Graphics, Image Processing, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, including but not limited to: 

Animation and simulation, biomedical imaging and visualization, biometrics, computational geometry, computer vision and robotics, document processing and analysis, feature extraction and matching, games, geometric and solid modeling, graphical interfaces, graphics hardware, image and video analysis, image and video filtering and restoration, image and video registration, image and video retrieval, image and video segmentation, information visualization, visual learning, mathematical morphology, mobile graphics, motion and tracking, non-photorealistic rendering, pattern recognition, point-based modeling, real-time imaging and rendering, remote sensing and geophysical imaging, scientific visualization, shape representation and matching, simplification and compression, stereo/3D imaging, surface reconstruction, virtual and augmented reality, visual data mining.

In separate tracks, SIBGRAPI welcomes submissions describing works in progress, completed or ongoing theses and dissertations as well as undergraduate works. The specific calls for these tracks will be delivered soon.
