This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition held in Ezhou, China, in August 2007. Twenty-two full papers are presented along with fifteen poster papers. The papers are organized into topical sections on algorithms, applications, image parsing, image processing, motion, shape, and three-dimensional processing.
