The 15th KÉPAF Conference 2025 took place between 28 and 31 January 2025 in Hévíz, Hungary.
The aim of the event was to present the latest research results of the Hungarian community working on image processing, computer vision and shape recognition and to promote professional dialogue. These disciplines are actively applying and contributing to the further development of machine learning and artificial intelligence tools.
The conference programme was rich and varied, with 41 scientific presentations and 5 technical demonstrations, where participants were able to learn about practical applications and innovative solutions.
Highlights of the event included presentations by invited speakers:
- Matej Kristan – "HIDRA - a deep model for accurate storm surge flood prediction"
- Giorgos Tolias – "Visual representation and similarity for instance-level retrieval"
The conference also included the presentation of the KÉPAF PhD Award, which was given to the young researcher who wrote the most outstanding PhD thesis in the past period, and of course the results of the thesis were presented.
All in all, the 15th KÉPAF Conference successfully contributed to the scientific development of the Hungarian image processing and shape recognition community, and fostered collaboration and exchange of experience between researchers.
The conference was organised by László Czúni (PE MIK) and sponsored by the University of Pannonia, John von Neumann Computer Society and the University of Debrecen.
