The European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) has established itself as a major event in this exciting and very active field of research. This two-volume proceedings collects the 115 papers accepted for presentation at the 3rd ECCV, held in Stockholm in May 1994. The papers were selected from over 300 submissions and together give a well balanced reflection of the state of the art in computer vision. The papers in Volume II are grouped under the following headings: Active vision, Motion and structure, Matching and registration, Segmentation and restoration, Illumination, Shading and colour, Motion segmentation, Feature-extraction, Registration and reconstruction, and Geometry and invariants.
