Preface
Computer vision is the science and technologyof making machines that see. It is
concernedwiththetheory,designandimplementationofalgorithmsthatcanauto-
maticallyprocessvisualdatatorecognizeobjects,trackandrecovertheirshapeand
spatiallayout.
The International Computer Vision Summer School - ICVSS was established
in 2007 to provide both an objective and clear overview and an in-depth analysis
of the state-of-the-art research in Computer Vision. The courses are delivered by
world renowned experts in the field, from both academia and industry, and cover
boththeoreticalandpracticalaspectsofrealComputerVisionproblems.Theschool
isorganizedeveryyearbyUniversityofCambridge(ComputerVisionandRobotics
Group)andUniversityofCatania(ImageProcessingLab).Differenttopicsarecov-
ered each year. A summary of the past Computer Vision Summer Schools can be
foundat:http://www.dmi.unict.it/icvss
This edited volume contains a selection of articles covering some of the talks
andtutorialsheldduringrecenteditionsoftheschoolandcoveringsomeofthekey
topicsincomputervision.Thechaptersprovidebothanin-depthoverviewofchal-
lengingareasandkeyreferencestotheexistingliterature.Themaintopicscovered
bythechaptersincludethevisualfield,advancedalgorithmsforvisualfeatureex-
traction anddescription,featurematchingand image registration,objectdetection
and recognition, object tracking, image segmentation. Each chapter contains key
referencestotheexistingliterature.
It is our hope that graduate students, young and senior researchers, and aca-
demic/industrialprofessionals will find the book useful for understandingand re-
viewingcurrentapproachesinComputerVision,therebycontinuingthemissionof
theInternationalComputerVisionSummerSchool.
