This book is part I of a two-volume work that contains the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Vision and Graphics, ICCVG 2010, held in Warsaw, Poland, in September 2010. The 95 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in three topical sections: advances in pattern recognition, machine vision and image understanding; human motion analysis and synthesis; and computer vision and graphics.
