The NVPHBV was established in 1981. Today, the society has approximately 200 members with backgrounds in engineering, biology, medicine, physics and other fields, hailing from both academia and industry. Membership is open to anyone involved in technology for pattern recognition, image processing or computer vision. NVPHBV events provide an excellent opportunity for members to share ideas and network.

The NVPHBV represents the Netherlands in the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). One of IAPR’s regular events is the biannual International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR). The Elsevier journal Pattern Recognition Letters is an official publication channel of the IAPR. Members of NVPHBV can subscribe to the journal at a reduced fee.
