Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery, 2009 15th IAPR International Conference, DGCI 2009, Montréal, Canada, September 30 - October 2, 2009, Proceedings Image Processing, Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and Graphics Series

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th IAPR International Conference on Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery, DGCI 2009, held in Montréal, Canada, in September/October 2009. The 42 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on discrete shape, representation, recognition and analysis; discrete and combinatorial tools for image segmentation and analysis; discrete and combinatorial Topology; models for discrete geometry; geometric transforms; and discrete tomography.
