The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) Technical Committee 7 (TC-7 Remote Sensing - http://www.iapr-tc7.org) organizes the 7th IAPR International Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote Sensing (PRRS 2012). This workshop is held in conjunction with the International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR 2012) (http://www.icpr2012.org). The workshop is sponsored by IAPR and IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS).

In the past decade this workshop has established itself as an important event for scientists involved in the combined fields of pattern recognition and remote sensing. Therefore it has always been organized together with the ICPR conferences. Pattern recognition and remote sensing have always overlapped, but the large volumes of remote sensing data now coming from last generation sensors require new advanced algorithms and techniques for automatic analysis. This one-day workshop will be the ideal means to spread and exchange experiences by international researchers.
