Pattern Recognition

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 29th Symposium of the German Association for Pattern Recognition, DAGM 2007. It covers image filtering, restoration and segmentation, shape analysis and representation, categorization and detection, computer vision and image retrieval, machine learning and statistical data analysis, biomedical data analysis, motion analysis and tracking, stereo and structure from motion, as well as 3D view registration and surface modeling.
