This volume presents the proceedings from the conference on low dimensional topology held at the University of Madeira (Portugal). The event was attended by leading scientists in the field from the U.S., Asia, and Europe. The book has two main parts. The first is devoted to the Poincaré conjecture, characterizations of $PL$-manifolds, covering quadratic forms of links and to categories in low dimensional topology that appear in connection with conformal and quantum field theory. The second part of the volume covers topological quantum field theory and polynomial invariants

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference, VISIGRAPP 2008, the Joint Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications (VISAPP) and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications (GRAPP), held in Funchal-Madeira, Portugal, in January 2008. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 374 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on geometry and modeling, rendering, interactive environments, image formation and processing, image analysis, image understanding, as well as motion, tracking and stereo
