This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Scale Space and PDE Methods in Computer Vision, Scale-Space 2005, held in Hofgeismar, Germany in April 2005. The 53 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on novel linear spaces, image features, deep structure, image processing, medical applications, contours, tensors, non-linear filters, and motion.
