Image Analysis and Recognition

This volume gathers the peer-reviewed papers from the tenth International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition, known as ICIAR 2013, which took place in Póvoa do Varzim, Portugal, during June 2013. Of 177 submissions, the organisers accepted 92 full papers after careful review, and those papers appear here in revised form.

The contributions are arranged by theme. Biometrics is covered in two parts, one on behavioural traits and one on physiological traits. Other sections address classification and regression, object recognition, and image processing and analysis, which includes representations and models, compression, enhancement, feature detection and segmentation. Further topics are 3D image analysis, tracking, methods of moments, RGB-D camera applications and cell image analysis.

A large share of the book is devoted to medical imaging, with subsections on image segmentation, registration and general analysis, as well as coronary and retinal image analysis, computer-aided diagnosis and brain image analysis. A final group of papers presents applications. The collection suits researchers and engineers working in computer vision and pattern recognition.
