IMA 2011 - IMA Workshop: Computing in Image Processing, Computer Graphics, Virtual Surgery, and Sports

This workshop focuses on the processing, modeling and simulation of image data, and in particular, data that is related to humans and human activities. The main core areas consist of image processing, computer graphics, virtual surgeries, and sport sciences. The modern world is full of image data that is not only gathered from the real world via various imaging mechanisms, but also produced through computer simulations in a wide range of virtual settings. In order for this image-based information to be useful, tasks such as cleaning up the images, segmenting special features from images, and comparing either the extracted features or the image data itself are essential. These tasks involve processing data that live in a wide range of dimensions, from two-dimensional image data to very high-dimensional data (e.g., the space of images), and require in depth mathematical analysis, modeling, and numerical algorithms.
