The German Conference on Pattern Recognition (GCPR) is the annual symposium of the German Association for Pattern Recognition, DAGM (https://www.dagm-gcpr.de/). It is the national venue for recent advances in image processing, pattern recognition, and computer vision and it follows the long tradition of the DAGM conference series.

The VMV Symposium is the annual symposium of the Computer Graphics Special Interest Group of the German Informatics Society (https://fb-gdv.gi.de). It is well-established as Germany’s premier scientific meeting that covers the full spectrum of visual computing, including computer graphics, computer vision, visualization, and visual analytics, with a special emphasis on the link between the disciplines.
