This book contains revised and extended versions of selected papers from the 9th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, ICPRAM 2020, held in Valletta, Malta, in February 2020. The 7 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 initial submissions. The papers describe applications of pattern recognition techniques to real-world problems, interdisciplinary research, experimental and theoretical studies yielding new insights that advance pattern recognition methods are especially encouraged.
