Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 5th
International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and
Patterns (CAIP’93), held in Budapest, Hungary, in September
1993.
Formerly, the events in this biennial conference series were
thought as a forum where East European researchers and
professionals from academia and industry had an opportunity
to discuss their results and ideas with Western colleagues
active in image processing and pattern recognition. Now,
CAIP’93 has a much more international scope, and in the
future these conferences will not any longertake place only
in East European countries, but roam throughout whole
Europe.
Besides invited talks by Belikova, Gimel’farb, Haralick and
Roska, the volume contains 114 contributions, either
presented as lectures or posters and carefully selected by a
highly competent international program committee from a
total of some 230 submissions; thus the book gives a
thorough survey on recent research results and their
applications in image processing and pattern recognition.
The proceedings is organized in 20 sections, for example on
image data structures, image processing, edges and contours,
Hough transforms and related methods, shape, motion, 3-D
vision, character recognition and document processing,
biomedical applications, industrial applications, and neural
networks.
