SoVIP 2012 - INNS Symposium on Vision and Image Processing (SoVIP2012)

Vision, as in the ability to see, particularly in the form of images, has always played an essential role in everyday human activities. In the past, images were, today they are, and in the future they will continue to be important information carriers. Recent advances in digital imaging and computer hardware technology have led to an explosion in the use of computer vision in a variety of scientific and engineering applications. These applications often arise from the interactions between fundamental scientific researches and development of new and high-standard technologies.
This symposium aims to provide an opportunity for researchers to describe scientific achievements and long-term research challenges, point to new research directions, or provide new insights, or brave perspectives that pave the way to innovation. Subjects of interest are video and image processing, and aspects of related disciplines (such as machine learning, computer graphics, biological vision, mathematics) which illuminate the state of the art in video and image processing.
