Recent Developments in Computer Vision: Second Asian Conference on Computer Vision, ACCV `95, Singapore, December 5-8, 1995. Invited Session Papers

by Stan Li (Editor), Dinesh Mital (Editor), Eam K. Teoh (Editor), Han Wang (Editor)

Overview

This book contains the invited reviewed session papers solicited for presentation as key papers at the Second Asian Conference on Computer Vision, ACCV '95, held in December 1995 in Singapore.

The fifteen leading researchers acting as session organizers at the ACCV '95 solicited and reviewed a unique collection of 56 invited papers presented in this volume. Together, these papers competently reflect the state-of-the-art developments in computer vision and image processing; the author index of the volume reads like a who-is-who in the field. The papers are devoted to both theoretical and practical issues relevant to researchers and professionals in the area.
