Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems

This volume collects the papers accepted for presentation at the 12th Int- national Conference on “Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems” (ACIVS 2010). Following the ? rst meeting in Baden-Baden (Germany) in 1999, whichwaspartofalargemulticonference, theACIVSconferencethendeveloped into an independent scienti? c event and has ever since maintained the tradition of being a single track conference. ACIVS 2010 attracted computer scientists from 29 di? erent countries, mostly from Europe, Australia, and the USA, but also from Asia. Although ACIVS is a conference on all areas of image and video processing, submissions tend to gather within certain major ? elds of interest. This year 3D and depth processing and computer vision and surveillance were popular topics. Noteworthy are the growing number of papers related to theoretical devel- ments. We would like to thank the invited speakers Mubarak Shah (University of Central Florida), Richard Kleihorst (VITO, Belgium), Richard Hartley (A- tralian National University), and David Suter (Adelaide University) for their valuable contributions.
