This volume collects the papers accepted for presentation at the 11th Inter- tionalConferenceonAdvancedConceptsforIntelligentVisionSystems (ACIVS 2009). Following the ?rst meeting in Baden-Baden (Germany) in 1999, which was part of a large multiconference, the ACIVS conference then developed into an independent scienti?c event and has ever since maintained the tra- tion of being a single track conference. ACIVS 2009 attracted computer sci- tists from 25 di?erent countries, mostly from Europe, but also from Australia, New-Zealand and Japan, and from the USA and Mexico. Although ACIVS is a conference on all areas of image and video processing, submissionstendtogatherwithincertainmajor?eldsofinterest.Aswasthecase lastyear,aboutaquarteroftheselectedpapersdealwithimageandvideocoding and processing, including ?ltering and restoration and low-level analysis.

We would like to thank the invited speakers Steve Sangwine (University of Essex, UK) and Jordi Inglada (CNES, France) for enhancing the technical program with their presentations.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems, ACIVS 2006, held in Antwerp, Belgium in September 2006. The 45 revised full papers and 65 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from around 242 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on noise reduction and restoration, segmentation, motion estimation and tracking, video processing and coding, camera calibration, image registration and stereo matching, biometrics and security, medical imaging, image retrieval and image understanding, as well as classification and recognition.

This volume contains the papers accepted for presentation at the 10th Inter- tionalConferenceonAdvancedConceptsforIntelligentVisionSystems (ACIVS 2008). Followingthe?rstmeetinginBaden-Baden(Germany)in1999,whichwas held as part of a large multiconference, theACIVS conference then developed into an independent scienti?c event and has ever since maintained the tradition of being a single-track conference. We celebrate this year the 10th anniversary of ACIVS, the conference being held in France for the very ?rst time. ACIVS currently attracts computer scientists from 33 di?erent countries, mostly from Europe, Australia and Japan, but also from the USA, Asia and the Middle- East. AlthoughACIVS is a conference on all areas of image and video proce- ing, submissions tend to focus on certain major ?elds of interest. About a quarter of the selected papers deal with image and video coding and proce- ing, including ?ltering and restoration. This year, topics related to biom- rics (including face recognition), tracking, pattern recognition and scene understanding for security applications are covered by about a third of the - pers, highlighting a growing interest in that area. Segmentation and feature extraction – which has been one of the cores of the conference over the years – has decreased slightly in importance. The remaining papers deal with s- tems and other applications such as medical imaging. We would like to thank the invited speakers Ivan Selesnick (Polytechnic University, NY, USA), Josiane Z´ erubia (INRIA, Sophia Antipolis, France) and Marc Antonini (Universit´ede Nice Sophia Antipolis, France) for enhancing the technical program with their presentations.
