Preface
The 2015 International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing, ICIAP 2015,
was the 18th edition of a series of conferences promoted biennially by the Italian
Member Society (GIRPR) of the International Association for Pattern Recognition
(IAPR). The conference traditionally covers both classic and the most recent trends in
computervision,patternrecognition,andimageprocessing,addressingboththeoretical
and applicative aspects.
ICIAP2015(www.iciap2015.eu)washeldinGenova,duringSeptember7–11,2015,
inPalazzodellaBorsa(theformerStockExchangeBuilding)convenientlylocatedinthe
verycenterofthecity,andwasorganizedbythePatternAnalysisandComputerVision
(PAVIS)department(www.iit.it/pavis)oftheIstitutoItalianodiTecnologia(IIT),with
thevaluablesupportoftheUniversityofGenovaandUniversityofVerona.Moreover,
ICIAP 2015 was endorsed by the International Association for Pattern Recognition
(IAPR),theItalianMemberSocietyofIAPR(GIRPR),andtheIEEEComputerSociety
Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TCPAMI) and
receivedthe institutional support ofRegione LiguriaandComune di Genova. Notable
sponsorships came from several industrial partners such as Datalogic, Google, Centro
Studi Gruppo Orizzonti Holding, Ansaldo Energia, EBIT Esaote, Softeco, eVS
embedded Vision Systems, 3DFlow, Camelot Biomedical Systems, as well as Istituto
Italiano diTecnologia, University of Genova, and University of Verona.
ICIAP is traditionally a venue to discuss image processing and analysis, pattern
recognition, computer vision, and machine learning, from both theoretical and appli-
cative perspectives, promoting connections and synergies among senior scholars and
students, universities, research institutes, and companies. ICIAP 2015 followed this
trend,andtheprogramwassubdividedintosevenmaintopics,coveringabroadrange
ofscientificareas,whichweremanagedbytwoareachairspereachtopic.Theywere:
Video Analysis and Understanding, Multiview Geometry and 3D Computer Vision,
Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning, Image Analysis, Detection and Recogni-
tion, Shape Analysis and Modeling, Multimedia, and Biomedical Applications.
Moreover,wehostedseveralprominentcompaniesaswellasstart-upstoshowtheir
activities while assessing them with respect to the cutting-edge research in the
respective areas: Datalogic, eVS embedded Vision Systems, 3DFlow, Camelot Bio-
medical Systems.
ICIAP 2015 received 234 paper submissions coming from all over the world,
including Algeria, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Finland,
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, Morocco, New Zealand, Pakistan,
Poland, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, The
Netherlands, Tunisia, Turkey, UK, USA and, Vietnam. The paper review process was
managedbytheprogramchairswiththeinvaluablesupportof14areachairs,together
with the Program Committee and a number of additional reviewers. The peer-review
selection process was carried out by three distinct reviewers in most of the cases. For

the accepted papers, authors were asked to include in the final version a list of the
revisions carried out on the paper, underlining the changes made according to the
reviewers’ comments. This ultimately led to the selection of 129 high quality manu-
scripts,27orals,and102posters,withanoverallacceptancerateofabout55%(about
11%fororals).TheICIAP2015proceedingsarepublishedasvolumesoftheLecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer.
The program also included six invited talks by distinguished scientists in computer
vision pattern recognition and image analysis. We enjoyed the plenary lectures of
Arnold Smeulders, University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Michal Irani, Weiz-
mann Institute of Science (Israel), Bernt Schiele, Max Planck Institute for Informatics
(Germany), Kristen Grauman, University of Texas at Austin (USA), Xiaogang Wang,
TheChineseUniversityofHongKong(China),andSamyBengio,GoogleInc.(USA),
who addressed very interestingand recent researchapproaches and paradigms such as
deep learning, big data, search and retrieval, semantic scene understanding, visual
cognition, and image enhancement.
While the main conference was held during September 9–11, 2015, ICIAP 2015
also included several tutorials and workshops, held on Monday, September 7 and
Tuesday, September 8, 2015, on a variety of topics.
Theorganizedtutorialswere:“LifeLongLearninginComputerandRobotVision”
by Barbara Caputo (Italy), “Structure from Motion: Historical Overview and Recent
Trends” by Andrea Fusiello (Italy), “Probing Human Brain Network Architecture and
Dynamics Using MRI” by Maria Giulia Preti (Switzerland), and “Deep Learning in
Computer Vision” by Xiaogang Wang (China).
ICIAP 2015 also hosted seven half- or full-day satellite workshops: “International
Workshop on Recent Advances in Digital Security: Biometrics and Forensics (BIO-
FOR 2015),” organized by Modesto Castrilln Santana, Matthias Kirchner, Daniel
Riccio, and Luisa Verdoliva; “Color in Texture and Material Recognition (CTMR
2015),” organized by Claudio Cusano, Paolo Napoletano, Raimondo Schettini, and
Joost van de Weijer; “Medical Imaging in Rheumatology: Advanced Applications for
theAnalysisofInammationandDamage intheRheumatoidJoint(RHEUMA2015),”
organized by Silvana Dellepiane, Marco A. Cimmino, Gianni Viano; “Image-Based
SmartCityApplication(ISCA2015)byGiuseppePirlo,DonatoImpedovo,andByron
Leite Dantas Bezerra; “First International Workshop on Multimedia Assisted Dietary
Management(MADiMa2015),organizedbyStavroulaMougiakakou,GiovanniMaria
Farinella, and Keiji Yanai; “Scene Background Modeling and Initialization (SBMI
2015),”organizedbyLuciaMaddalenaandThierryBouwmans;“WorkshoponImage

Ben Herbst, and Dubravko Culibrk. Also the workshop papers were all collected in a
separate volume of the LNCS series by Springer.
Wethankalltheworkshoporganizersandtutorialspeakerswhomadepossiblesuch
an interesting pre-conference program.
SeveralawardswereconferredduringICIAP2015.Twostudentsupportgrantswere
provided by the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). The “Edu-
ardo Caianiello” award was attributed to the best paper authored or co-authored by at
leastoneyoungresearcher(PhDstudent,PostDoc,orsimilar);aBestPaperawardwas
also assigned after a careful selection made by an ad hoc appointed committee.
Preface VII
Unfortunately,justafewmonthsago,StefanoLevialdi,aneminentscientistandone
of the “founders” of the Italian Chapter of the IAPR, passed away. ICIAP 2015
commemoratedthisscientist,colleague,andfrienddedicatingtheBest Paperawardto
his memory with the aim of celebrating his pioneering activities in the early stages of
Image Analysis and Pattern Recognition in Italy.
The organization and the success of ICIAP 2015 were made possible thanks to the
cooperation of many people. First of all, special thanks should be given to the area
chairs, who made a big effort for the selection of the papers, together with all the
members of the Program Committee. Second, we also would like to thank the indus-
trial, special session, publicity, publication, and Asia and US liaison chairs, who,
operating in their respective fields, made this event a successful forum of science.
Special thanks go to the workshop and tutorial chairs, as well as all workshop orga-
nizers and tutorial lecturers for making richer the conference program with notable
satelliteevents.ASAPS.r.l.,theagencythatsupportedtheregistrationprocessandthe
financialaspectsoftheconference,amongmanyotherissues,shouldbeacknowledged
for all the work done. Last but not least, we are indebted to the Local Committee,
mainly colleagues from IIT-PAVIS, who covered almost every aspects of the confer-
ence when necessary and the day-to-day management issues of the ICIAP 2015
organization, notably Sara, Diego, Matteo.
Thanks very much indeed to all the aforementioned people since without their
support we would have not made it.
WehopethatICIAP2015willserveasabasisandinspirationforthefutureICIAP
