15th International Workshop on Graphics Recognition (GREC)
August 24, 2023
San Jose, USA
GREC workshops provide an excellent opportunity for researchers and practitioners at all levels of experience to meet colleagues and to share new ideas and knowledge about graphics recognition methods. Graphics Recognition is a subfield of document image analysis that deals with graphical entities in engineering drawings, comics, musical scores, sketches, maps, architectural plans, mathematical notation, tables, diagrams, etc.
The aim of this workshop is to maintain a very high level of interaction and creative discussions between participants, maintaining a « workshop » spirit, and not being tempted by a « mini-conference » model.
GREC 2023 will continue the tradition of past workshops held at the Penn State University (USA), Nancy (France), Jaipur (India), Kingston (Canada), Barcelona (Spain),, Hong Kong (China), Curitiba (Brazil), La Rochelle (France), Seoul (Corea), Lehigh (USA), Nancy (France), Kyoto (Japan), Sydney (Australia) and Lausanne (Switzerland).
The workshop will comprise several sessions dedicated to specific topics related to graphics in document analysis and graphic recognition. For each session, there will be an invited presentation describing the state of the art and stating the open questions for the session’s topic, followed by a number of short presentations that will contribute by proposing solutions to some of the questions or presenting results of the speaker’s work. Each session will be concluded by a panel discussion.
We encourage the authors to submit papers on the topics detailled below.

Guidelines for authors
For this edition, authors are invited to submit two types of paper :
- Full papers describing complete works of research (12-15 pages). They will undergo a rigorous review process with a minimum of 2 reviews considering the originality of work.
- Short papers providing an opportunity to report on research in progress and to present novel positions on graphic recognition (up to 6 pages).
Accepted papers (full and short papers) will be published in a Springer LNCS volume dedicated to all ICDAR workshops.
The submited papers will respect the same policy and conditions of ICDAR 2023 conference papers. Papers should be formatted according to the instructions and style files provided by Springer. The LaTeX template for LNCS can be downloaded here. It is also available on Overleaf.
You can also see the author instructions on ICDAR Website for the format or downloand the LNCS Guidelines for authors.
