The five-volume set LNCS 9003--9007 constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 12th Asian Conference on Computer Vision, ACCV 2014, held in Singapore, Singapore, in November 2014. The total of 227 contributions presented in these volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 814 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on recognition; 3D vision; low-level vision and features; segmentation; face and gesture, tracking; stereo, physics, video and events; and poster sessions 1-3.
