Cameras for 3D depth imaging, using either time-of-flight (ToF) or structured light sensors, have received a lot of attention recently and have been improved considerably over the last few years. The present techniques make full-range 3D data available at video frame rates, and thus pave the way for a much broader application of 3D vision systems.

A series of workshops have closely followed the developments within ToF imaging over the years. Today, depth imaging workshops can be found at every major computer vision conference. The papers presented in this volume stem from a seminar...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Camera-Based Document Analysis and Recognition, CBDAR 2013, held in Washington, DC, USA, in August 2013. The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from numerous original submissions. Intended to give a snapshot of the state-of-the-art research in the field of camera based document analysis and recognition, the papers are organized in topical sections on text detection and recognition in scene images and camera-based...
