Image Processing and Analysis

Symposium within the International Conference on Computational &
Experimental Engineering and Sciences 2009

Description

Over the last decades numerous researches have been made seeking the development of efficient computational methods for image processing and analysis. These methods are usually based on geometrical, statistical or physical principles and aim to achieve improved visualizations and/or high level analysis from the input images. Image processing and analysis can be applied in various areas such as, for instance, industry, engineering, medicine, biology or sports and involve tasks like image restoring, image enhance, image segmentation, objects recognition, objects description, objects tracking, motion analysis, simulation and animation.
The main aim of this Symposium is to bring together specialists from various fields related to Computational Vision, Mathematics, Informatics, Statistics, Medical Imaging, Industry, among others. The proposed Symposium will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of methods related to Image Processing and Image Analysis with the purpose of identify the major lines of development for the near future.
Another important challenge for the proposed Symposium is to establish a connection between researchers and end-users from diverse fields.

Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to) the following:

- Image Restoring, Description, Compression, Segmentation and Description;
- Objects Tracking, Matching, Reconstruction and Registration;
- Visualization Enhance;
- Visual Inspection;
- Simulation and Animation;
- Software Development for Image Processing and Analysis;
- Grid Computing in Image Processing and Analysis;
- Applications of Image Processing and Analysis.
