International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition
The International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR) is an international academic conference which is now held annually, each time in a different country. It is about character and symbol recognition, printed/handwritten text recognition, graphics analysis and recognition, document analysis, document understanding, historical documents and digital libraries, document based forensics, camera and video based scene text analysis.[1]
History
[edit]ICDAR was held every second year between 1991 and 2023. It then transitioned to be an annual conference. The host country changes every time and the conference has taken place on five different continents so far:[2]. An attempt is made to rotate around the world between Europe-Africa, Asia-Australia and the Americas depending on the availability of hosts.
