Call for Papers

The International Conference on Digital Image Computing: Techniques and Applications (DICTA) is the premier conference organised in Australia on computer vision, image processing, pattern recognition, and related areas. DICTA was established in 1991 as a flagship conference of the Australian Pattern Recognition Society (APRS) and has been historically co-sponsored technically by IEEE and the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). The 26th DICTA 2025 conference will be organised by The University of Adelaide (UoA) from Dec 3-5, 2025 at Adelaide Convention Centre in the beautiful city of Adelaide, South Australia.

Apart from regular oral and poster sessions, DICTA 2025 is planning to have industry demos and panel discussions, career fair/job interviews, industry site tour, free technical workshops (2nd Dec), data challenge competition,shortlisted ECR awardee presentations, selected highly ranked journal papers presentations, keynote talks from distinguished speakers, various awards and travel grants, free gala dinner and tour around attractive sites of the Australia’s sunniest city.
