The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR), is an international association of organizations dedicated to computer vision or pattern recognition. It only admits one organization per country or territory. Individual people participate in the IAPR through their own country or territory's organization.^[1]

The IAPR was founded by Purdue University computer scientist King-Sun Fu in 1978.^[2]
