Chapter 1: Why Statistical Shape Analysis is Pivotal to the Modern Pattern Recognition? (1,127k)

This volume contains the latest in the series of ICAPR proceedings on the state-of-the-art of different facets of pattern recognition. These conferences have already carved out a unique position among events attended by the pattern recognition community. The contributions tackle open problems in the classic fields of image and video processing, document analysis and multimedia object retrieval as well as more advanced topics in biometrics speech and signal analysis. Many of the papers focus both on theory and application driven basic research pattern recognition.
