Scale Space and Variational Methods in Computer Vision

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Scale Space and Variational Methods in Computer Vision, SSVM 2021, which took place during May 16-20, 2021. The conference was planned to take place in Cabourg, France, but changed to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 45 papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 64 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named as follows: scale space and partial differential equations methods; flow, motion and registration; optimization theory and methods in imaging; machine learning in imaging; segmentation and labelling; restoration, reconstruction and interpolation; and inverse problems in imaging.
