WCBIPA 2015 - 2nd Workshop on Computational Biomedical Image Processing and Analysis (WCBIPA 2015)

In the recent years, extensive research has been performed to develop efficient and robust computational methods for image processing and analysis. These methods can be applied in numerous areas such as, industry, engineering, security, medicine and biology. Moreover, they can perform different tasks and address distinct goals, like image restoring, image enhancement, image segmentation, classification and description, 3D reconstruction, deformation or motion analysis, and assisted diagnosis. Medicine has been one of the several application domains in which these computational methods can be more often found; particularly, in supporting the medical diagnosis, facilitating the follow-up of pathologies, assisting surgery procedures, expediting medical training, and aiding the design of superior treatment plans and procedures.
The main goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of issues related to Computational Methods for Biomedical Image Processing and Analysis, in order to provide a scientific space where the researchers can show the novel works developed and applications tackled, and set the major lines of development for the near future. As such, the workshop will consist of investigators representing various fields related to Biomedical Engineering, Computational Vision, Mathematics, Medical Imaging, among others, aiming to establish a network between developers and end-users from these fields.
