IWRR2014 - First International Workshop on Robust Reading

Accepted Papers

Following 8 papers were accepted. These papers were selected from 13 submitted papers, which included ones directly submitted to IWRR (say, IWRR papers) and ones passed from ACCV (ACCV papers). Some of the latter were revised and re-submitted to IWRR before the IWRR submission due date, which were treated as IWRR papers. The acceptance rate was 8/13 = 61.5%.
