Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision for eHeritage and Digital Humanities (PRESTIGE 2026), a half-day workshop held in conjunction with ICPR 2026, taking place on August 21, 2026, in Lyon, France.

Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/prestige-icpr2026

The workshop is sponsored by IAPR and will be held on-site as part of the official ICPR 2026 program (https://icpr2026.org). We are honored to host Guillaume Caron, Vice-Chair of IAPR TC19, as the invited keynote speaker.

Camera-ready submission: June 20, 2026  

Accepted full papers (more than 6 pages) will be published in the ICPR 2026 Workshop Proceedings, Springer LNCS.

We welcome contributions on the following topics:

• Computer vision and generative AI for art and cultural heritage

• Automated analysis and transcription of historical manuscripts and documents

• Digital acquisition, representation, and manipulation of cultural artifacts

• Augmented and virtual reality for cultural heritage communication and education

• Image processing, classification, retrieval, and similarity search in the art domain

• Point cloud analysis and segmentation for heritage sites and objects

• 3D reconstruction of historical artifacts and architectural environments

• Serious games, edutainment, and interactive storytelling for cultural heritage

• Knowledge representation, ontology learning, and semantic modeling in cultural heritage

• Robotic and autonomous systems for inspection, conservation, and preservation

• Projects, prototypes, and digital tools for restoration, conservation, and heritage outreach

For the first time, the workshop unifies two well-established IAPR TC19 events, namely FAPER and PatReCH, fostering a broader and more cohesive research community.

We warmly invite researchers and practitioners from computer vision, pattern recognition, AI, and digital humanities to submit their work through (https://easychair.org/) and join us in Lyon!
