OGRW-9-2014 continues the successful series of international workshops on “Pattern Recognition and Image Un- derstanding” held since 1990 in Berlin, St.-Petersburg, Erlangen, Valday, Herrsching, Katunj, Ettlingen, and Nizhny Novgorod. The general goal of the OGRWs is to establish and to improve the scientific contacts and collaboration between researchers from Germany, the Russian Federation and other countries in order to advance the field of pattern recognition and image understanding. The scientific programs of OGRWs traditionally reflect the advances and state-of-the-art of the field.
