Computer Vision and Graphics: International Conference, ICCVG 2008, Warsaw, Poland, November 10-12, 2008 Revised Papers [Paperback]

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Vision and Graphics, ICCVG 2008, held in Warsaw, Poland, in November 2008. The 48 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on image processing, image quality assessment, geometrical models of objects and scenes, motion analysis, visual navigation and active vision, image and video coding, virtual reality and multimedia applications, biomedical applications, practical applications of pattern recognition, computer animation, visualization and graphical data presentation.Image Processing.- Architecture of an Integrated Software-Hardware System for Accelerated Image Processing.- A Fast Logical-Morphological Method to Segment Scratch - Type Objects.- SpatioTemporal TrackBeforeDetect Algorithm for Interlaced and Progressive Scan Imaging Sensors.- Road Lane Detection with Elimination of High-Curvature Edges.- Image Quality Assessment.- A Statistical Reduced-Reference Approach to Digital Image Quality Assessment.- Colour Image Quality Assessment Using Structural Similarity Index and Singular Value Decomposition.- Top-Down Approach to Image Similarity Measures.- The Influence of Picture Quality Scale Measure on Choosing the Wavelet Transform during Image Compression.- Image Quality Assessment Using Phase Spectrum Correlation.- Geometrical Models of Object and Scenes.- A New Image Fusion Method for Estimating 3D Surface Depth.- Collecting 3D Content: Examples from Art and Medicine.- 3D Object Reconstruction from Parallel Cross-Sections.- Implementation of Progressive Meshes for Hierarchical Representation of Cultural Artifacts.- Motion Analysis, Visual Navigation and Active Vision.- Multi-Object Tracking Based on Particle Filter and Data Association in Color Image Sequences.- Residual of Resonant SVD as Salient Feature.- Building Pedestrian Contour Hierarchies lÃ0
