While traditional approaches to computer vision were often based on a heuristic sequence of processing steps and merely allowed very l- ited theoretical understanding of the respective methods, most state-of-the-art methods are nowadays based on the concept of computing solutions to a given problem by minimizing respective energies.

These papers demonstrate that energy minimization methods have become a mature ?eld of research spanning a broad range of areas from discrete graph theoretic approaches and Markov random ?elds to variational methods and partial di?erential equations. Application areas include image segmentation and tracking, shape optimization and registration, inpainting and image deno- ing, color and texture modeling, statistics and learning.Overall, we received 75 high-quality double-blind submissions.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, EMMCVPR 2009, held in Bonn, Germany in August 2009. The 18 revised full papers, 18 poster papers and 3 keynote lectures presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 75 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on discrete optimization and Markov random fields, partial differential equations, segmentation and tracking, shape optimization and registration, inpainting and image denoising, color and texture and statistics and learning.
