Scale Space and Variational Methods in Computer Vision

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Scale Space Methods and Variational Methods in Computer Vision, SSVM 2013, held in Schloss Seggau near Graz, Austria, in June 2013. The 42 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected 69 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on image denoising and restoration, image enhancement and texture synthesis, optical flow and 3D reconstruction, scale space and partial differential equations, image and shape analysis, and segmentation.
