Preface

This volume consists of the 33 papers presented at the International Workshop on Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (EMMCVPR 2003) which was held at Instituto Superior T´ecnico (IST), the Engineering School of the Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal during July 7–9, 2003. This workshop was the fourth in the series which started with EMMCVPR 1997 held in Venice, Italy in May 1997 and continued with EMMCVPR 1999 held in York, UK in July 1999 and EMMCVPR 2001 held in Sophia-Antipolis, France in September 2001. Many problems in computer vision and pattern recognition (CVPR) are couched in the framework of optimization. The minimization of a global quantity, often referred to as the energy, forms the bulwark of most approaches in CVPR. Disparate approaches, such a
