IPA 2014 - International Workshop on Image Processing and Applications (IPA 2014)

Vision allows humans to perceive and understand the world surrounding them, while computer vision aims to duplicate the effect of human vision by electronically perceiving and understanding an image. Giving computers the ability to see is not an easy task?we live in a three-dimensional world, and when computers try to analyze objects in 3D space, the visual sensors available(e.g., TV cameras) usually give two-dimensional images, and this projection to a lower number of dimensions incurs an enormous loss of information. To let computers see and understand the world better, the images must be processed.
Specific topics of interest
