Campilho A., Kamel M. (eds.) Image Analysis and Recognition, ICIAR 2012, Part II

Springer, 2012. — 517 p.9th International Conference, ICIAR 2012, Aveiro, Portugal, June 25-27, 2012 Proceedings, Part II.
Nine years ago we started the ICIAR series of annual conferences alternating between Europe and North America as a forum for researchers to interact and present their latest research in the theory, methodology, and applications of image analysis and recognition. We are pleased that ICIAR has maintained this forum and has become truly an international conference with participation from more than 30 countries on average.
ICIAR 2012, the International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition, was held in Aveiro, Portugal, June 25–27, 2012. As in the past two years, ICIAR was organized at the same time as AIS 2012, the International Conference on Autonomous and Intelligent Systems. Both conferences are organized by AIMI – Association for Image and Machine Intelligence, a not-for-profit organization registered in Ontario, Canada.Biometrics and Face Recognition
