DAGM GCPR is the annual symposium of the German Association for Pattern Recognition (DAGM). It follows the long tradition of the DAGM conference series, which has been renamed to DAGM GCPR in 2013 to reflect its increasing internationalization. The conference addresses recent advances in theory, methodology, and applications of pattern recognition, machine learning, and computer vision. The GCPR proceedings will be published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series and the best papers from the conference will be invited to a special issue of the International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV).

Given the COVID-19 situation it is unclear yet if the conference will take place in a physical format. We will turn to a virtual format if needed. We encourage authors to submit work to DAGM GCPR even if they do not think they will be able or willing to attend in person due to the virus situation and/or potential travel restrictions.
