Computer Vision and Graphics: International Conference

The need for e?cient information processing, especially in computer vision and graphics, is dramatically increasing.Growth in these ?elds stimulated by eme- ing applications has been both in concepts and techniques. New ideas, concepts and techniques are developed, presented, discussed and evaluated, subsequently being expandedorabandoned.Theobjectivesofthe ICCVGconference are: p- sentation of current research topics and discussions leading to the integration of the community engaged in machine vision and computer graphics, carrying out and supporting research in the ?eld and ?nally promotion of new applications. TheICCVGisacontinuationoftheformerInternationalConferenceonC- puter GraphicsandImageProcessingcalledGKPO, heldinPolandeverysecond year in May since 1990. ICCVG 2008 gathered about 100 authors. The ICCVG 2008 proceedings contain 49 papers, each accepted on the basis of reviews by three independent referees. Contributions are organized into the following sessions corresponding to the scope of the conference: image processing, image quality assessment, g- metrical models of objects and scenes, motion analysis, visual navigation and active vision, image and video coding, virtual reality and multimedia app- cations, biomedical applications, practical applications of pattern recognition, computeranimation, visualizationandgraphicaldatapresentation.ICCVG2008 was organized by the Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology and Association for Image Processing. The Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology was founded in 1994 by the Computer Techniques Development Foundation under the agr- ment of the Polish and Japanese governments and is one of the leading, n- state (private) Polish universities and cooperates with a number of EU, US and Japanese universities.
