CITIMA 2014 - Workshop on Computational Intelligence Techniques for Industrial and Medical Applications

Computational Intelligence techniques are adopted in many industrial applications, like visual based quality control, image enhancement in consumer electronics, video based recognition of identity or behaviors, audio based speech recognition for enhanced human like interaction with machines etc. It also has a strong impact in medical applications, like medical image enhancement, semi-automatic detection of pathologies, pre-filtering and reconstruction of volumes from medical scans etc. Despite this growing diffusion, there are still many possible areas where computational intelligence application is partial or could be extended and improved, due to the actual limitations in terms of computational power or strict requirements in terms of assurance of the results.
This workshop aims to investigate the impact of the adoption of advanced and innovative Computational Intelligence techniques in industrial and medical applications. This edition of the workshop is focused primarily on Imaging and Multimedia based industrial and medical applications with special emphasis to real time systems
