The book is an edited volume that contains technical contributions in the field of computer vision and image processing presented at the First International Conference on Computer Vision and Image Processing (CVIP 2016). The contributions are thematically divided based on their relation to operations at the lower, middle and higher levels of vision systems, and their applications. The technical contributions in the areas of sensors, acquisition, visualization and enhancement are classified as related to low-level operations. The technical contributions in these areas discuss various modern topics such as reconfigurable image system architecture, Scheimpflug camera calibration, real-time autofocusing, climate visualization, tone mapping, super-resolution and image resizing. A reconfigurable architecture through non-uniformity correction for long-wave infra-red sensors is presented. A lens distortion model is proposed for calibration of cameras that work based on Scheimpflug principle. An algorithm to implement real-time autofocusing for thermal imagers is given and a novel visualization framework of cloud pattern formation estimating climate is also deliberated. In addition, an algorithm for tone mapping of high dynamic range images through local processing is presented. Content-aware image size reduction based on image energy computation and depth based image super-resolution is discussed as well.The technical contributions in the areas of segmentation and retrieval are classified as related to mid-level operations. The technical contributions in these areas discuss some state-of-the-art techniques such as non-rigid image registration, iterative image partitioning, egocentric object detection and video shot boundary detection. A low-complexity non-rigid image registration using feature-based diffeomorphic log-demons is proposed. A study of ancient stone images using iterative image partitioning is also presented. A semi-automatic object detection method for egocentric videos is given which is used to study object perception by infants. In addition, fusion of local and global features in a hierarchical architecture of video shot boundary detection is discussed as well.The technical contributions in the areas of classification and retrieval are categorized as related to high-level operations. The technical contributions in these areas discuss some state-of-the-art approaches such as extreme learning machines, and target, gesture and action recognition. A non-regularized state preserving extreme learning machine is presented for natural scene classification. An algorithm for human action recognition through dynamic frame warping based on depth cues is given. Target recognition in night vision through convolutional neural network is also presented. Use of convolutional neural network in detecting static hand gesture is also discussed. Finally, the technical contributions in the areas of surveillance, coding and data security, and biometrics and document processing are considered as applications of computer vision and image processing. The technical contributions in these areas discuss some contemporary applications. A few of them are a system for tackling blind curves, a quick reaction target acquisition and tracking system, an algorithm to detect for copy-move forgery based on circle block, a novel visual secret sharing scheme using affine cipher and image interleaving, a finger knuckle print recognition system based on wavelet and Gabor filtering, and a palmprint recognition based on minutiae quadruplets.
