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.
