OVERVIEW

The  rapid   development  of  computer   vision,  pattern  recognition   and  machine  learning   has  had  enormous

impact  on   processing  and  interpretation  of   remotely  sensed  data.   There  is  still   a  lot  of   room  for

improvement  in these areas. CVRS2012 is to serve as an international forum to bring together  researchers

and  practitioners  to   discuss  cutting‐edge  research   on  computer  vision,   pattern  recognition  and   machine

learning  and   their  applications  in   remotely  sensed  data   processing.  CVRS2012  will   expose  participants  to

the  most recent developments in this exciting interdisciplinary area.
