IST 2013 - 2013 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST)

Following the success of events in Stresa in Italy 2004, Niagara Falls in Canada 2005, Minori in Italy 2006, Krakow in Poland 2007, Chania in Greece 2008, Shenzhen in China 2009, Thessaloniki in Greece 2010 Penang in Malaysia 2011 and Manchester in the UK 2012, the 2013 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST’2013) will take place in Beijing, China.
IST’2013 deals with the design, development, evaluation and applications of imaging systems, instrumentation, and measuring techniques, to enhance detection and image quality. Applications for aerospace, medicine and biology, molecular imaging, metrology, Ladars and Lidars, radars, homeland security, and industrial imaging, with emphasis on industrial and medical tomography, corrosion imaging, and non-destructive evaluation (NDE), will be covered. The following areas will be particularly considered:
Aerospace imaging
Remote sensing, passive and active sensing
Ladars and Lidars
Polarimetric Imaging
Multi-spectral polarimetric imaging and Lasers
Medical Imaging
Computer Tomography (CT), Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT)
