Computer Vision Systems, 1st ed. 2021 13th International Conference, ICVS 2021, Virtual Event, September 22-24, 2021, Proceedings Theoretical Computer Science and General Issues Series

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems, ICVS 2021, held in September 2021. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually.
The 20 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions. cover a broad spectrum of issues falling under the wider scope of computer vision in real-world applications, including among others, vision systems for robotics, autonomous vehicles, agriculture and medicine. In this volume, the papers are organized into the sections: attention systems; classification and detection; semantic interpretation; video and motion analysis; computer vision systems in agriculture.
