Management of the competition

The registration to the competition is only a registration of interest. It does not commit you to submit any results. Only the teams that are registered will have an exclusive access to the sample and test datasets until the announcement of the results in August 2018 during ICPR.

The competition is managed in an open mode which means that we do not ask you to provide source code and/or binaries of your algorithm but only your results. However, the organizers reserve the right to inquire about details of a participant’s method.

Special issue of a journal

The participants of SSGCI will be invited to submit papers for a special issue of a well reputed journal.
