Ebook: Computer Vision — ECCV '96: 4th European Conference on Computer Vision Cambridge, UK, April 15–18, 1996 Proceedings Volume II

The European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) has established itself as a major event in this exciting and very active field of research and development. These refereed two-volume proceedings include the 123 papers accepted for presentation at the 4th ECCV, held in Cambridge, UK, in April 1996; these papers were selected from a total of 328 submissions and together give a well-balanced reflection of the state of the art in computer vision.
The papers in volume II are grouped in sections on color vision and shading; image features; motion; medical applications; tracking; applications and recognition; calibration, focus, and optics; applications; and structure from motion.
