GRSS Special Stream of the Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis for Geoscience and Remote Sensing at SIBGRAPI 2026
This Special Stream aims to bring together researchers in pattern recognition, computer vision, image processing, and remote sensing to present recent advances in the analysis, interpretation, and understanding of remotely sensed imagery. The topic is timely given the rapid progress of deep learning, multimodal learning, foundation models, and data-centric evaluation for Earth observation.
The track welcomes methodological and application-oriented contributions involving optical, SAR, hyperspectral, aerial, and multimodal data. All accepted papers are expected to be presented at the conference, strengthening the dialogue between the computer vision and remote sensing communities.
The Conference on Graphics, Patterns and Images (SIBGRAPI) is a leading annual event in Latin America promoted by the Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics, Pattern Recognition and Image Processing (CEGRAPI) of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC).
Founded in 1988, SIBGRAPI brings together contributions in computer graphics and vision, pattern recognition, and image processing. The conference includes the main track as well as co-located workshops and short courses, offering a well-established venue for students, academics, and industry researchers.
The 2026 edition is planned for Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. For updated conference information, see the official SIBGRAPI website: sibgrapi.sbc.org.br/2026/
