This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Sensor-Based Activity Recognition and Artificial Intelligence, iWOAR 2024, held in Potsdam, Germany, during September 26–27, 2024. The 15 full papers and 4 short papers presented here were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 submissions.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Sensor-Based Activity Recognition and Artificial Intelligence, iWOAR 2025, held in Enschede, The Netherlands, during September 18–19, 2025.The 19 full papers and 12 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. The accepted papers were presented in the following topical sections during the workshop presentations: Next-Gen Human Activity Recognition, AI Health Tech, Data Generation and Cleaning for Robust Human-Centric AI, Wearable Monitoring for Cognitive and Physiological States, and Advanced Sensing and Interaction for Human-Centred Systems.

Whatisactuallytheinformationdirectlyrepresentedinthescale-space?Istarted to wonder about this shortly after Peter Johansen, 15 years ago, showed me his intriguing paper on how uniquely to reconstruct a band-limited 1D signal from its scale-space toppoints. Still, I have not fully understood its implications. Merely recording where structure vanishes under blurring is su?cient to fully reconstruct the details. Of course, technicalities exist, for example, you must also know negative scale toppoints. Nevertheless, I ?nd it surprising that we may trade the metric properties of a signal with the positions of its inherent structure. The result has been generalizedto analytic signals, shown also for the zero crossings of the Laplacean, but has not yet been generalized to 2D. This remains an open problem.In 2003, Peter Giblin, Liverpool University, Luc Florack, Eindhoven Univ- sity of Technology, Jon Sporring, University of Copenhagen, my colleague Ole Fogh Olsen, and several others started the project collaborationDeep Structure and Singularities in Computer Vision under the European Union, IST, Future and Emerging Technologies program, trying to obtain further knowledge about what informationis actuallycarriedby the singularitiesof shapesand gray-scale images. In this project, we probed from several directions the question of how much of the metric information is actually encoded in the structure of shapes and images. We, and many others, have given hints in this direction.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to welcome you to Da- nd stadt and DAGM 2010,the 32 Annual Symposium of the German Association for Pattern Recognition. The technical program covered all aspects of pattern recognition and, to name only a few areas, ranged from 3D reconstruction, to object recognition and medical applications. The result is re?ected in these proceedings, which contain the papers presented at DAGM 2010. Our call for papers resulted in 134 submissions from institutions in 21 countries. Each paper underwent a rigorous reviewing process and was assigned to at least three program committee m- bers for review. The reviewing phase was followed by a discussion phase among the respective program committee members in order to suggest papers for - ceptance. The ?nal decision was taken during a program committee meeting held in Darmstadt based on all reviews, the discussion results and, if necessary, additional reviewing. Based on this rigorous process we selected a total of 57 papers, corresponding to an acceptance rate of below 45%. Out of all accepted papers, 24 were chosen for oral and 33 for poster presentation. All accepted - pers have been published in these proceedings and given the same number of pages. We would like to thank all members of the program committee as well as the external reviewers for their valuable and highly appreciated contribution to the community.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Joint IAPR International Workshops on Structural and Syntactic Pattern Recognition (SSPR 2012) and Statistical Techniques in Pattern Recognition (SPR 2012), held in Hiroshima, Japan, in November 2012 as a satellite event of the 21st International Conference on Pattern Recognition, ICPR 2012.The 80 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited paper and the Pierre Devijver award lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 120 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on structural, syntactical, and statistical pattern recognition, graph and tree methods, randomized methods and image analysis, kernel methods in structural and syntactical pattern recognition, applications of structural and syntactical pattern recognition, clustering, learning, kernel methods in statistical pattern recognition, kernel methods in statistical pattern recognition, as well as applications of structural, syntactical, and statistical methods.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Scale Space Methods and Variational Methods in Computer Vision, SSVM 2013, held in Schloss Seggau near Graz, Austria, in June 2013.The 42 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected 69 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on image denoising and restoration, image enhancement and texture synthesis, optical flow and 3D reconstruction, scale space and partial differential equations, image and shape analysis, and segmentation.
