Springer BMVC91: Proceedings of the British Machine Vision Conference, organised for the British Machine Vision Association by the Turing Institute 24–26 September 1991 University of Glasgow

This volume provides the reader with a "snapshot" of state-of-the-art developments in computer vision and image processing that have taken place in the UK during 1990 and 1991. At this year's British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC '91) - the premier annual conference for the UK vision community - competition for papers to be accepted was as keen as in past years and the quality of those that were selected illustrates the high standards of research and development in this strategically important area. These papers, along with the shorter posters, cover topics such as segmentation and feature extraction, stereo and motion analysis, shading and texture methods, object recognition and inspection techniques, and medical image processing, as well as a variety of new developments in computer hardware, including active sensing. This book is an important reference for researchers and applications workers in computer vision, machine vision, and image processing, in academic institutions and industry - in fact for anyone wanting to keep up to date in this challenging and fast-moving area.
