This volume presents the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns (CAIP 2005). This conference - ries started about 20 years ago in Berlin. Initially, the conference served as a forum for meetings between scientists from Western and Eastern-block co- tries. Nowadays, the conference attracts participants from all over the world. The conference gives equal weight to posters and oral presentations, and the selected presentation mode is based on the most appropriate communication medium. The program follows a single-track format, rather than parallel s- sions. Non-overlapping oral and poster sessions ensure that all attendees have the opportunity to interact personally with presenters. As for the numbers, we received a total of 185 submissions. All papers were reviewed by two to four members of the Program Committee. The ?nal selection was carried out by the Conference Chairs. Out of the 185 papers, 65 were - lected for oral presentation and 43 as posters. CAIP is becoming well recognized internationally, and this year’s presentations came from 26 di?erent countries. South Korea proved to be the most active scienti?cally with a total of 16 - cepted papers. At this point, we wish to thank the Program Committee and additional referees for their timely and high-quality reviews. The paper s- mission and review procedure was carried out electronically. We also thank the invited speakers Reinhardt Koch and Thomas Vetter for kindly accepting to present invited papers.

Thisvolumecollectsthepapersacceptedforpresentationatthe7thInternational Conferenceon Advanced Conceptsfor IntelligentVision Systems (ACIVS 2005). TheACIVS conference was established in 1999 in Baden-Baden (Germany) as part of a large multiconference.ACIVS has maintained the tradition of its ?rst edition of having 25-minute oral talks in a single track event, even though the number of participants has been steadily growing every year. The conference currently attracts computer scientists from more than 20 countries, mostly from Europe, Australia and Japan, but also from USA, Asia and the Middle East. ThoughACIVS is a conference on all areas in image processing, one of its major domains is image and video compression. A third of the selected papers dealt with compression, motion estimation, moving object detection and other video applications. This year, topics related to clustering, pattern recognition and biometrics constituted another third of the conference. The last third was more related to the fundamentals of image processing, namely noise reduction, ?ltering,restorationandimagesegmentation.We wouldliketothankthe invited speakers Fernando Pereira, Marc Op de Beeck and Rafael Molina for enhancing the technical program with their presentations.

Images have always been very important in human life. Their applications range from primitive communication between humans of all ages to advanced technologies in the industrial, medical and military field. The increased possibilities to capture and analyze images have contributed to the largeness that the scientific field of "image processing" has become today. Many techniques are being applied, including soft computing."Soft Computing in Image Processing: Recent Advances" follows the edited volumes "Fuzzy Techniques in Image Processing" (volume 52, published in 2000) and "Fuzzy Filters for Image Processing" (volume 122, published in 2003), and covers a wide range of both practical and theoretical applications of soft computing in image processing. The 16 excellent chapters of the book have been grouped into five parts: Applications in Remote Sensing, Applications in Image Retrieval, Applications in Image Analysis, Other Applications, and Theoretical Contributions. The focus of the book is on practical applications, which makes it interesting for every researcher that is involved with soft computing, image processing, or both scientific branches.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems, ACIVS 2006, held in Antwerp, Belgium in September 2006. The 45 revised full papers and 65 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from around 242 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on noise reduction and restoration, segmentation, motion estimation and tracking, video processing and coding, camera calibration, image registration and stereo matching, biometrics and security, medical imaging, image retrieval and image understanding, as well as classification and recognition.

This volume contains the papers accepted for presentation atMIRAGE 2007. The Mirage conference is becoming recognized internationally, with pres- tations coming from 31 countries. South Korea proved to be the most active scienti?cally with a total of 73 submitted papers, far aboveChina (27 submitted papers), Taiwan (10) and India (9), which proves the strong domination of Asia in the development of this new technology. We received a total of 198 submissions. Reviewing was very selective as the Program Committee accepted only 42 oral presentations and 17 posters. We had to extend the conference period from two to three days, as the number of submissions was mutiplied by three compared to the previous conference, which proves that this conference attracts more and more researchers. All papers were reviewedby two to four members of the ProgramCommittee. The ?nal selection was carried out by the Conference Chairs. We wish to thank the Program Committee and additional referees for their timely and high-quality reviews.We also thank the invited speakers Peter Eisert and Adrian Hilton for kindly accepting to present very interesting talks. Mirage 2007 was organized by inria Rocquencourt and took place at inria, Rocquencourt, close to Versailles Castle. We believe that the conference proved tobeastimulating experience,andwehopereaderswillenjoytheseproceedings. January 2007 A. Gagalowicz W.

This volume collects the papers accepted for presentation at the 12th Int- national Conference on “Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems” (ACIVS 2010). Following the ?rst meeting in Baden-Baden (Germany) in 1999, whichwaspartofalargemulticonference,theACIVSconferencethendeveloped into an independent scienti?c event and has ever since maintained the tradition of being a single track conference. ACIVS 2010 attracted computer scientists from 29 di?erent countries, mostly from Europe, Australia, and the USA, but also from Asia. Although ACIVS is a conference on all areas of image and video processing, submissions tend to gather within certain major ?elds of interest. This year 3D and depth processing and computer vision and surveillance were popular topics. Noteworthy are the growing number of papers related to theoretical devel- ments. We would like to thank the invited speakers Mubarak Shah (University of Central Florida), Richard Kleihorst (VITO, Belgium), Richard Hartley (A- tralian National University), and David Suter (Adelaide University) for their valuable contributions.
