Image Analysis Applications and Computer Graphics

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Computer Science Conference, ICSC '95, held in Hong Kong in December 1995.
ICSC '95 was devoted to computer graphics and image analysis applications. The 55 revised full papers presented together with 21 posters were selected from a total of 155 submissions. The papers are organized in sections on robot navigation and tracking, scientific visualization, feature matching and detection, geometric modeling, document processing and character recognition, rendering, 3D image analysis, image synthesis, biomedical imaging, simulation and animation, curves and surfaces, application systems, and human models.
