It is concernedwiththetheory,designandimplementationofalgorithmsthatcanauto- maticallyprocessvisualdatatorecognizeobjects,trackandrecovertheirshapeand spatiallayout. The International Computer Vision Summer School - ICVSS was established in 2007 to provide both an objective and clear overview and an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art research in Computer Vision. The courses are delivered by world renowned experts in the field, from both academia and industry, and cover boththeoreticalandpracticalaspectsofrealComputerVisionproblems.Theschool isorganizedeveryyearbyUniversityofCambridge(ComputerVisionandRobotics Group)andUniversityofCatania(ImageProcessingLab).Differenttopicsarecov- ered each year. A summary of the past Computer Vision Summer Schools can be foundat:http://www.dmi.unict.it/icvss This edited volume contains a selection of articles covering some of the talks and tutorials held during recent editions of the school and covering some of the keytopicsof machinelearningforcomputervision.The chaptersprovidebothan in-depthoverviewofchallengingareasandkeyreferencestotheexistingliterature. The book starts with two chapters devoted to introducing the reader to the excit- ingfieldsofMachineLearningandComputerVision.InChapter1theproblemof producingtrulyintelligentmachinesisdiscussedandthe“neuromorphic”approach isintroduced.Chapter2introducesthenotionofvisualinformationanditsrelevant propertiesusefultoaccomplishvisualinferencetasks.Chapter3reviewsalgorithms torapidlysearchimagesorvideosinlargecollections,whereasChapter4discusses theproblemofobjectrecognitionandintroducesgenerativemodelsabletotakeinto accounttransformationsofgeometryandreflectance.Chapter5describesamethod to quickly and accurately predict 3D positions of body joints from a single depth image. Chapter 6 describes a fast vote-based approach for 3D shape recognition andregistration.Chapter7introducesnovelmulti-classifierboostingalgorithmsfor object detection,tracking and segmentationtasks, whereas in Chapter 8 the prob- lem of tracking objects using multiple cameras is described together with related VI Preface algorithms.Finally,Chapter9completethebookbypresentingavisionsystemfor thechallengingtaskofautonomousdrivingvehicles. It is our hope that graduate students, young and senior researchers, and aca- demic/industrialprofessionals will find the book useful for understandingand re- viewingcurrentapproachesinComputerVision,therebycontinuingthemissionof theInternationalComputerVisionSummerSchool.
