This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference
proceedings of the International Dagstuhl-Seminar on Efficient
Algorithms for Global Optimization Methods in Computer Vision, held in
Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in November 2011. The 8 revised full papers
presented were carefully reviewed and selected by 12 lectures given at
the seminar. The seminar focused on the entire algorithmic development
pipeline for global optimization problems in computer vision: modelling,
mathematical analysis, numerical solvers and parallelization. In
particular, the goal of the seminar was to bring together researchers
from all four fields to analyze and discuss the connections between the
different stages of the algorithmic design pipeline.
