This book features selected papers from VISIGRAPP 2007, the Joint Conference on Computer Vision and Computer Graphics, which included the International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications (VISAPP) and the International Conference on Computer Graphics Theory and Applications (GRAPP). The event took place in Barcelona, Spain, from March 8–11, 2007, attracting 382 paper submissions from over 50 countries across all five continents, highlighting the conferences' global reach. After a rigorous double-blind evaluation, 78 submissions were accepted as full papers, with 18 selected for inclusion in this volume. These were chosen based on high evaluation scores from the VISIGRAPP Program Committee and were subsequently revised by the authors to ensure scientific quality. Special thanks are extended to all contributors and reviewers for their essential roles. The conference also featured four invited keynote lectures from internationally recognized researchers, which significantly enhanced the event's overall quality. The speakers included Jake K. Aggarwal (The University of Texas at Austin, USA), André Gagalowicz (INRIA, France), Wolfgang Heidrich (University of British Columbia, Canada), and Mel Slater (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain).

This book includes selected papers from the first International Conferences on Computer Vision Theory and Applications (VISAPP), and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications (GRAPP), jointly held in Setubal, Portugal, on February 25–28, 2006. We received 314 paper submissions for both conferences, quite a high number for a first venue. We had contributions from 44 different countries covering all five continents, which confirms the success and global reach of the two conferences. After a rigorous double-blind review, a total of 116 submissions were accepted as full papers. From those, the Program Committee selected 27 for publication in this book, which were then revised by the authors. Special thanks are due to all contributors and referees, without whom this book would not have been possible. VISAPP/GRAPP 2006 included four invited keynote lectures, presented by internationally recognized researchers. The presentations represented an important contribution to increasing the overall quality of the conference. We would like to express our appreciation to all invited keynote speakers, in alphabetical order, Marc Alexa (TU Berlin/Germany), André Gagalowicz (INRIA/France), Ken Perlin (New York University/USA), Peter Robinson (University of Cambridge/UK), whose presentations are partially included in the first section of the book. The second and third sections include selected papers from VISAPP 2006 and GRAPP 2006 respectively.
