Papers from the International Workshop on Visual Form, held in Capri, Italy, May 1991, deal with shape in the areas of representation, decomposition, description, and recognition, and supply hints for both the theoretical and the applied levels. Problems and prospects in the field of 2D and 3D shape analysis are discussed extensively, providing an up-to-date picture of current research activity on an attribute that is crucial for both human and machine perception.
