Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition: 7th International Conference, EMMCVPR 2009, Bonn, Germany, August 24-27, 2009, Proceedings

Overthelastdecades, energyminimizationmethods havebecomeanestablished paradigm to resolve a variety of challenges in the ?elds of computer vision and pattern recognition. While traditional approaches to computer vision were often based on a heuristic sequence of processing steps and merely allowed very l- ited theoretical understanding of the respective methods, most state-of-the-art methods are nowadays based on the concept of computing solutions to a given problem by minimizing respective...
