Image Processing IV

The fourth IMA Conference on Imaging and Digital Processing will be held from 9 to 12 September 2003. As with the previous conferences in this series, this conference will be a forum for discussing the mathematical modelling of imaging systems, the design and implementation of specialised image processing algorithms and novel applications of image processing software in industry and commerce. Specific areas in which the conference will focus will include:inverse problems in imaging, statistical methods in image processing, image compression techniques, fuzzy systems theory, artificial neural networks,wavelets, colour image processing, 3D imaging and image processing, real-time image processing, systems modelling and image security. Submission on all aspects of image processing relating to these fields of interest, are invited. The organising committee is particularly interested in papers, which relate the mathematical exposition of a given problem to the practical realisation of an algorithm and its implementation in the civilian and/or defence industries.

A one-day short course on an “Introduction to Imaging and Digital image Processing” will precede the conference on the 9 September 2003. The course will provide an introduction to the mathematical techniques and computer algorithms used to model imaging systems and processing the images generated by these systems. The course material will include a complete set of lecture and supplementary notes and a library of source code relating to some of the algorithms discussed.
