This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Spatial Coherence for Visual Motion Analysis, SCVMA 2004, held in Prague, Czech Republic in May 2004 in conjuction with the eighth European Conference on Computer Vision, ECCV 2004 (see LNCS volumes 3021/3022/3023/3024).

The 11 revised full research papers presented went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers in this volume cover a wide range in the field of motion analysis that is a central problem in computer vision. The workshop examined techniques for integrating spatial coherence constraints during motion analysis of image sequences.
