Preface

INSTICC organized the third edition of VISIGRAPP that took place in FunchalMadeira, Portugal in January 2008 after successful previous editions. This book includes selected papers from VISIGRAPP 2008, the Joint Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications (VISAPP) and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications (GRAPP). The conference was intended to stimulate the exchange of ideas on the topics of computer vision and computer graphics. We received a high number of paper submissions: 374 in total for both conferences. We had contributions from more than 50 countries in all continents. This confirms the success and global dimension of these jointly organized conferences. After a rigorous double-blind evaluation method, 78 submissions were accepted as full papers.
