This volume in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
contains the papers presented at the S+SSPR 2010 Workshops, which was the
seventh occasion that SPR and SSPR workshops have been held jointly. S+SSPR
2010 was organized by TC1 and TC2, Technical Committees of the International
Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR), and held in Cesme, Izmir, which is
a seaside resort on the Aegean coast of Turkey. The conference took place during
August 18–20, 2010, only a few days before the 20th International Conference on
Pattern Recognition (ICPR) which was held in Istanbul. The aim of the series of
workshops is to create an international forum for the presentation of the latest
results and exchange of ideas between researchers in the fields of statistical and
structural pattern recognition.
SPR 2010 and SSPR 2010 received a total of 99 paper submissions from many
different countries around the world, giving it a truly international perspective,
as has been the case for previous S+SSPR workshops. This volume contains 70
accepted papers, 39 for oral and 31 for poster presentation. In addition to parallel
oral sessions for SPR and SSPR, there were two joint oral sessions of interest
to both SPR and SSPR communities. Furthermore, to enhance the workshop
experience, there were two joint panel sessions on “Structural Learning” and
“Clustering,” in which short author presentations were followed by discussion.
Another innovation this year was the filming of the proceedings by Videolectures.
The workshop program was enriched by invited talks from four prominent
speakers: Narendra Ahuja (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Ernesto
Estrada (University of Strathclyde), Fatih Porikli (Mitsubishi Electric Research
Laboratories) and Luc Devroye (McGill University), who was winner of the 2010
Pierre Devijver award. |
