The APRS is the representative for Australia in the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) just as the IEEE computer society is the representative for the USA. The APRS organises regular technical meetings and conferences including the biennial DICTA (Digital Image Computing: Techniques and Applications) conferences; the most recent being DICTA2003 in Sydney. The APRS also hosted the highly successful ICPR98 (The 14th International Conference on Pattern Recognition) at the Brisbane Convention Centre in August,1998. ICPR is the biennial conference of the IAPR and is the world's premier pattern recognition event.

Family Photos

Here are some images of Vicki, the twins, Adeleine and Quetta, and our latest arrival Tess. There are also assorted ancient photos of my parents, my brothers, and my maternal great grandfather's brother that I happened to scan in one day.
