As we celebrate our 14th annual conference, we also celebrate our return to mainland China. On behalf of the International Steering Committee and the International Programme Committee we thank our colleagues at Xiamen University for their help and assistance in making this conference possible. I am sure that you will have a great time. As those who have been to M2VIP before know, this conference is not just about the papers and other sessions; it’s also about meeting people, getting to know them, and enjoying their company along with good food and drink!   This year we have had a large number of papers submitted, of which we accepted around 65%. I think the Programme Committee and the International Reviewers have done a magnificent job in getting a high standard of papers for the conference.   I hope that you have a great time in Xiamen; it’s a wonderful city, and I encourage you to come back and spend more time here away from the rigors of academia and engineering.  Dr Robin Bradbeer Chair, International Programme Committee M2VIP 2007  Welcome message from Xiamen University On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, we earnestly welcome your participation in the 14th International Conference on Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice which will be held on 3rd - 5th December 2007 in Xiamen. This is the first workshop jointly organized by the M2VIP and Xiamen University. Following the success of its thirteen predecessors, M2VIP 2007 will provide a dynamic forum for international experts and researchers to present and review up-to-date technical advances in mechatronics and machine vision which have culminated in practical applications, or which promise practical implementation in the very near future.  Xiamen University, founded in 1921, was the first university in China which was established by an overseas Chinese entrepreneur, Mr. Tan Kae-kee. As a prestigious university in China, it is the centre of inspiring education and productive researches in China. As the organizer of this eminent conference, Xiamen University will strive for excellence with perseverance and try the best to offer the participants with service of superior quality. We also invite you to pay a visit to the picturesque campus of Xiamen University and our laboratories. Constructive advice and suggestions are also welcomed.  Last but not least, I’d like to pay special thanks to Dr. Robin Bradbeer for her consistent commitment to this conference.  Welcome to Xiamen and we hope that you can enjoy your trip and have a fruitful conference.  Prof. Xiaomei Xu Chairman of Local Organizing Committee Department of Oceanography Xiamen University
