The ACIVS conference was established in 1999 in Baden-Baden (G- many)aspartofalargemulticonference.ACIVShasmaintainedthetraditionof being a single track event with oral presentations 25 minutes each, even though the number of participants has been steadily growingeveryyear.The conference currently attracts computer scientists from more than 20 countries, mostly from Europe,Australiaand Japan,but alsofromthe USA, Asia and the Middle-East. ThoughACIVS is a conference on all areas of image processing, one of its major domains is image and video compression. A third of the selected papers dealt with compression, motion estimation, moving object detection and other video applications. This year, topics related to clustering, pattern recognition and biometrics constituted another third of the conference. The last third was more related to the fundamentals of image processing, namely noise reduction, ?ltering,restorationandimagesegmentation.We wouldliketothankthe invited speakers Kathrin Berkner (Ricoh Innovations), Nikos Paragios (Ecole Centrale de Paris) and Dimitri Van de Ville (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) for enhancing the technical program with their presentations UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/11864349 ER -
