Recent Developments in Computer Vision: Second Asian Conference on Computer Vision, ACCV `95, Singapore, December 5-8, 1995. Invited Session Papers [Paperback]

This book contains the invited reviewed session papers solicited for presentation as key papers at the Second Asian Conference on Computer Vision, ACCV '95, held in December 1995 in Singapore.
The fifteen leading researchers acting as session organizers at the ACCV '95 solicited and reviewed a unique collection of 56 invited papers presented in this volume. Together, these papers competently reflect the state-of-the-art developments in computer vision and image processing; the author index of the volume reads like a who-is-who in the field. The papers are devoted to both theoretical and practical issues relevant to researchers and professionals in the area.Digital libraries: Meeting place for high-level and low-level vision.- Computer vision in next generation image and video coding.- Video annotation: Computers watching video.- Video representations.- Analysis of left ventricular motion.- Applications of computer vision in space robotics.- Optical-flow estimation while preserving its discontinuities: A variational approach.- Space- and time-variant estimation approaches and the segmentation of the resulting optical flow fields.- Combining the hough transform and multiresolution MRF's for the robust motion estimation.- Direct model-based image motion segmentation for dynamic scene analysis.- Modeling structured environments using robot vision.- Design trade-offs for real-time block-matching motion estimation algorithms.- Pixel matching and motion segmentation in image sequences.- On the motion problem of a rigid planar patch and its invariance.- Virtual space teleconferencing: Real-time detection and reproduction of 3D face and body images.- High-performance tracking with TRICLOPS.- Developing an active observer.- Active stereo vision system with foveated wide angle lenses.- A control theoretical approach to active vision.- Active rangefinding and recognition with Cubicscope.- Real-time vision is not frame-rate image analysis.- Active vision based stereo vil�
