Skeletonization: Theory, Methods and Applications is a comprehensive reference on skeletonization, written by the world's leading researchers in the field. The book presents theory, methods, algorithms and their evaluation, together with applications. Skeletonization is used in many image processing and computer vision applications such as shape recognition and analysis, shape decomposition and character recognition, as well as medical imaging for pulmonary, cardiac, mammographic applications.

Part I includes theories and methods unique to skeletonization. Part II includes novel applications including skeleton-based characterization of human trabecular bone micro-architecture, image registration and correspondence establishment in anatomical structures, skeleton-based fast, fully automated generation of vessel tree structure for clinical evaluation of blood vessel systems.

Offers a complete picture of skeletonization and its application to image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition and biomedical engineering Provides an in-depth presentation on various topics of skeletonization, including principles, theory, methods, algorithms, evaluation and real-life applications Discusses distance-analysis, geometry, topology, scale and symmetry-analysis in the context of object understanding and analysis using medial axis and skeletonization

This proceedings volume includes papers for presentation at DGCI 2000 in U- sala, Sweden, 13-15 December 2000. DGCI 2000 is the 9th in a series of inter- tional conferences on Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery. DGCI 2000 is organized by the Centre for Image Analysis (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Uppsala University). It is sponsored by the International Assoc- tion for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) and by the Swedish Society for Automated Image Analysis (SSAB). This is the ?rst DGCI conference to take place outside France. The number of researchers active in the ?eld of discrete geometry and c- puter imagery is increasing. In comparison with the previous editions, DGCI 2000 has attracted a signi?cantly larger number of research contributions from a- demic and research institutions in di?erent countries. In fact, 62 papers were s- mitted. The contributions focus on topology, discrete images, surfaces and v- umes, shape representation, and shape understanding. After careful reviewing by an international board of reviewers, 40 papers from 16 countries were accepted, leading to a high-quality conference.Of the 40 accepted papers, 28 were selected for oral presentation and 12 for poster presentation. All accepted contributions have been scheduled in plenary sessions. The programme also has been enriched by three invited lectures, presented by three internationally known speakers: Pieter Jonker (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands), Pierre Soille (ISPRA, Italy), and Jayaram K. Udupa (University of Pennsylvania, USA).

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Audio- and Video-based Biometric Person Authentication, AVBPA'97, held in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, in March 1997.The 49 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected by the program committee for inclusion in the book; also included are four invited contributions. The papers are organized in sections on facial features localisation, lip and facial motion, visual non-face biometrics, face-based authentication, text-dependent speaker authentication, text-independent authentication, audio-video features and fusion, and systems and applications.

This book contains the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology, ISMM 2013 held in Uppsala, Sweden, in May 2013. The 41 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on theory;
