Images and video play a crucial role in visual information systems and multimedia. There is an extraordinary number of applications of such systems in entertainment, business, art, engineering, and science. Such applications often involved large image and video collections, and therefore, searching for images and video in large collections is becoming an important operation. Because of the size of such databases, efficiency is crucial. We strongly believe that image and video retrieval need an integrated approach from fields such as image processing, shape processing, perception, database...

Mustererkennung heisst, ahnlich wie bei Sinneswahrnehmungen mit Sensoren Signale aus der technischen Umwelt zu empfangen und mit Hilfe zuvor gelernter Situationen momentane Messungen zu interpretieren und dabei im Hinblick auf neue Eindrucke lernfahig zu sein. Anlasslich des 11. DAGM-Symposiums wurden zu diesem Themenkomplex nahezu 100 Arbeiten eingereicht, von denen 42 Vortrage und 38 Plakatprasentationen zur Tagung und fur dieses Buch ausgewahlt wurden. Der Band enthalt Aufgabenstellungen, Denkweisen und neuere Forschungsergebnisse aus den Gebieten Mustererkennung, Bildverstehen,...
