This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, EMMCVPR'97, held in Venice, Italy, in May 1997.
The book presents 29 revised full papers selected from a total of 62 submissions. Also included are four full invited papers and a keynote paper by leading researchers. The volume is organized in sections on contours and deformable models, Markov random fields, deterministic methods, object recognition, evolutionary search, structural models, and applications. The volume is the first...

This volume collects the papers accepted for presentation at the 13th IMA C- ference on the Mathematics of Surfaces, held at the University of York, UK September 7-9, 2009. Contributors to this volume include authors from many countries in America, Asia, and Europe. The papers presented here re?ect the applicability of mathematics of surfaces to engineering and computer science, especially in domains such as computer-aided design, computer vision, and c- puter graphics. The papers in the present volume include seven invited papers, as well as a larger number of submitted papers. They cover a...

This volume in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series contains the papers presented at the S+SSPR 2010 Workshops, which was the seventh occasion that SPR and SSPR workshops have been held jointly. S+SSPR 2010 was organized by TC1 and TC2, Technical Committees of the International Association for Pattern Recognition(IAPR), andheld inCesme, Izmir, whichis a seaside resort on the Aegean coast of Turkey. The conference took place during August 18-20, 2010, only a few days before the 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR) which was held in Istanbul. The...
