23rd SIBGRAPI – Conference on Graphics, Patterns and Images
August 30th - September 3rd, 2010

Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

SIBGRAPI 2010 was held in Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil between August 30th and September 3rd, 2010.
SIBGRAPI is annually promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) through its CEGRAPI committee. It started in 1988 as the Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing and this was its 23rd edition.
SIBGRAPI 2010 is being organized by the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS, Institute of Informatics). UFRGS has already organized SIBGRAPI 1990, the 3rd edition, and SIBGRAPI 2000, the 13th edition, was jointly organized by UFRGS, PUCRS and UNISINOS. Information on past SIBGRAPI events can be found at the CEGRAPI committee page.
The SIBGRAPI proceedings are available on-line at IEEE Xplore since 1997 and at the SIBGRAPI Digital Library Archive, maintained by Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE).
Moreover, special efforts have been made to publish extended versions of the best papers in special issues of well qualified journals of the related areas. In particular, extended versions of the best papers of previous SIBGRAPI were published in special issues of:
