International contributions from nineteen countries provide a comprehensive coverage of the current state-of-the-art in the fields of:

- Image Processing and Analysis;

- Image Segmentation;

- Data Interpolation;

- Registration, Acquisition and Compression;

- 3D Reconstruction;

- Objects Tracking;
