Image Analysis and Recognition : International Conference, ICIAR 2004, Porto, Portugal, September 29 - October 1, 2004, Proceedings, Part II

Iciar 2004, The International Conference On Image Analysis And Recognition, Was The ?rst Iciar Conference, And Was Held In Porto, Portugal. Iciar Will Be Organized Annually, And Will Alternate Between Europe And North America. Iciar 2005 Will Take Place In Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Idea Of O?ering These Conferences Came As A Result Of Discussion Between Researchers In Portugal And Canada To Encourage Collaboration And Exchange, Mainly Between These Two Countries, But Also With The Open Participation Of Other Countries, Addressing Recent Advances In Theory, Methodology And Applications. The Response To The Call For Papers For Iciar 2004 Was Very Positive. From 316 Full Papers Submitted, 210 Were Accepted (97 Oral Presentations, And 113 - Sters). The Review Process Was Carried Out By The Program Committee Members And Other Reviewers; All Are Experts In Various Image Analysis And Recognition Areas. Each Paper Was Reviewed By At Least Two Reviewing Parties. The High Q- Lity Of The Papers In These Proceedings Is Attributed ?rst To The Authors, And Second To The Quality Of The Reviews Provided By The Experts. We Would Like To Thank The Authors For Responding To Our Call, And We Wholeheartedly Thank The Reviewers For Their Excellent Work In Such A Short Amount Of Time. We Are Espe- Ally Indebted To The Program Committee For Their E?orts That Allowed Us To Set Up This Publication. We Were Very Pleased To Be Able To Include In The Conference, Prof. Murat Kuntfromtheswissfederalinstituteoftechnology,andprof. Mario ́ Figueiredo, Oftheinstitutosuperiort ́ Ecnico,inportugal. ICIAR 2004, the International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition, was the rst ICIAR conference, and was held in Porto, Portugal. ICIAR will be organized annually, and will alternate between Europe and North America. ICIAR 2005 will take place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The idea of oering these conferences came as a result of discussion between researchers in Portugal and Canada to encourage collaboration and exchange, mainly between these two countries, but also with the open participation of other countries, addressing recent advances in theory, methodology and applications. The response to the call for papers for ICIAR 2004 was very positive. From 316 full papers submitted, 210 were accepted (97 oral presentations, and 113 - sters). The review process was carried out by the Program Committee members and other reviewers; all are experts in various image analysis and recognition areas. Each paper was reviewed by at least two reviewing parties. The high q- lity of the papers in these proceedings is attributed rst to the authors, and second to the quality of the reviews provided by the experts. We would like to thank the authors for responding to our call, and we wholeheartedly thank the reviewers for their excellent work in such a short amount of time. We are espe- ally indebted to the Program Committee for their eorts that allowed us to set up this publication. We were very pleased to be able to include in the conference, Prof. Murat KuntfromtheSwissFederalInstituteofTechnology, andProf. Mario Figueiredo, oftheInstitutoSuperiorT ecnico, inPortugal The two volumes LNCS 8814 and 8815 constitute the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition, ICIAR 2014, held in Vilamoura, Portugal, in October 2014. The 107 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 177 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: image representation and models; sparse representation; image restoration and enhancement; feature detection and image segmentation; classification and learning methods; document image analysis; image and video retrieval; remote sensing; applications; action, gestures and audio-visual recognition; biometrics; medical image processing and analysis; medical image segmentation; computer-aided diagnosis; retinal image analysis; 3D imaging; motion analysis and tracking; and robot vision.

The two-volume set LNCS 3211/3212 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition, ICIAR 2004, held in Porto, Portugal, in September/October 2004.
