Trends and Topics in Computer Vision, 2012
ECCV 2010 Workshops, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, September 10-11, 2010, Revised Selected Papers, Part I
Image Processing, Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and Graphics Series

The two volumes LNCS 6553 and 6554 constitute the refereed post-proceedings of 7 workshops held in conjunction with the 11th European Conference on Computer Vision, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece in September 2010. The 62 revised papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The first volume contains 26 revised papers and 2 invited talks selected from the following workshops: First International Workshop on Parts and Attributes; Third Workshop on Human Motion Understanding, Modeling, Capture and Animation; and International Workshop on Sign, Gesture and Activity (SGA 2010).
