We cordially invite you to submit an abstract for the 22nd Conference of the International Graphonomics Society (IGS 2025), held in Polytechnique Montréal, Canada, from June 2 to 5, 2025, under the theme Investigating Human Movements - Handwriting and Beyond. This conference is the premier forum for presenting new advances and research results in graphonomics from an interdisciplinary point of view.
Abstracts must be submitted according to the template provided before February 16, 2025, and will be reviewed by the Program Chairs and the Program Committee Members.
Authors will be notified of the results of the review process by email in March 2025.
Authors of accepted conference papers will be invited to submit full manuscripts for consideration by major international journals, publishing each a Special issue based upon selected papers of IGS 2025: Pattern Recognition Letters, International Journals of Forensic Document Examination, Human Movement Science, and other potential journals.
Also, different Student Prizes will be awarded at the conference.

TOPICS

Methods

Motion capture (wearables, image/video acquisition, pen and touch tablets)
Movement analysis (signal/image/video processing, hand and finger movements, human pose estimation and tracking, biomechanics)
Movement segmentation and gesture recognition (features extraction, classification, identification and representation, machine learning, and natural language description)
Multimodal fusion and registration (with EEG, EMG, voice recording, eye tracking, multi-limb or contralateral movements)
Neurosciences and motor control
Robotics and motion control, anthropomorphic robots
Motion-based human-machine interface and augmented/virtual reality (gesture-based control of equipment, remote surgery systems)
Handwriting, signature and movement synthesis, generative AI.
Document analysis and recognition (print, handwriting, drawing, images)

Applications

Applications in healthcare (health monitoring, movement disorders, physical rehabilitation, physiotherapy, aging at home, detection of injuries, Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases)
Application in education (handwriting learning and assessment, teaching methods, early screening of motor aptitude and disorders)
Applications in sports (performance assessment, non-invasive prediction of injuries or drugs)
Applications in arts (cultural heritage, calligraphy, painting, drawing, music playing, dance, sculpting)
Applications in forensic and security (signature verification, writer identification, handwritten document forgery detection, biometric motion identification)

Datasets

Handwriting, signature and movement datasets
Privacy preservation, data anonymization
Biomarkers in handwriting and human movements
Gold standards benchmarks
