ICIAR was organized at the same time with AIS 2011, the Inter- national Conference on Autonomous and Intelligent Systems. Both conferences were organized by AIMI – Association for Image and Machine Intelligence—a not-for-profitorganizationregistered in Ontario, Canada. For ICIAR 2011, we received a total of 147 full papers from 37 countries. The reviewprocesswascarriedoutbymembers ofthe ProgramCommittee and otherreviewers;allareexpertsinvariousimageanalysisandpatternrecognition areas. Each paper was reviewed by at least two reviewers and checked by the Conference Chairs.A totalof 84 papers were finally acceptedand appearin the two volumes of these proceedings. The high quality of the papers is attributed first to the authors, and second to the quality of the reviews provided by the experts.We wouldlike tosincerelythankthe authorsforrespondingtoourcall, and to thank the reviewers for their careful evaluation and feedback provided to the authors. It is this collective effort that resulted in the strong conference programand high-quality proceedings. This year ICIAR had a competition on“Hand Geometric Points Detection,” which attracted the attention of participants.
