The 12th International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns was held in Vienna, Austria, in August 2007. The meeting attracted leading researchers who came to present their findings and discuss the latest developments in the field. This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the conference.
Inside, you’ll find 120 full papers and 3 invited lectures. All the contributions were carefully reviewed to ensure that each one meets the highest standards of research and scholarship. Together, the papers represent some of the most important findings in the field.
The papers are organized into topical sections covering motion detection and tracking, medical imaging, biometrics, color, curves and surfaces beyond two dimensions, reading characters, words and lines, image segmentation, shape, image registration and matching, signal decomposition and invariants, and features and classification.
