It was an honor and a pleasure to organize the 12th international conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns (CAIP 2007) in Vienna, Austria. CAIP has been held biennially since 1985: Year Location Organizers 1985Berlin, Germany R. Klette 1987Wismar, Germany L.P. Iaroslavskii, A. Rosenfeld, W. Wilhelmi 1989Leipzig, Germany K. Voss, D.

Kropatsch, M. Kampel This year 251 full scienti?c papers were submitted of which 120 were - cepted based on the scienti?c reviews for presentation during the conference. Consequently the competition for acceptance in the ?nal program was tough. The accepted papers were presented during the conference either as oral pres- tations or as posters in the non-overlapping scienti?c program. Oral presen- tions allowed the authors to reach a large number of participants, while posters allowedfor more intense scienti?c interaction.We tried to continue the tradition of CAIP in providing a forum for scienti?c exchange at a high quality level. Three internationally recognized speakers accepted our invitation to present astimulatingresearchtopicthisyear:ZygmuntPizlo,PurdueUniversity;Arnold Smeulders, University of Amsterdam; and Steven W. Zucker, Yale University.
