Variational (Electronic book text)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Variational, Geometric and Level Set Methods in Computer Vision, VLSM 2005, held in Beijing, China in October 2005 within the scope of ICCV 2005, the International Conference on Computer Vision. The 30 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections and sub-sections as follows: image filtering and reconstruction - image enhancement, inpainting and compression; segmentation and grouping - model-free and model-based segmentation; registration and motion analysis - registration of curves and images, multi-frame segmentation; 3D and reconstruction - computational processes in manifolds, shape from shading, calibration and stereo reconstruction.
