Scope

Vision in general and images in particular have always played an important and essential role in human life. In the past they were, today they are, and in the future they will continue to be one of our most important information carriers. Nowadays, image processing and computer vision have numerous commercial, scientific, industrial and military applications.

Soft Computing is an emerging field that consists of major seminal theories which include fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, and neural networks. The capability of these techniques to incorporate imprecision and incomplete information to model very complex systems makes them a useful tool in many scientific areas. Needless to say, image processing is one of these areas.

This special session will cover a range of domains, from more traditional ones such as image analysis at low, medium and high level, including pattern recognition to all the topics inherent to computer vision, all treated by means of Soft Computing techniques.

Topics

High quality submissions are sought; topics include, but are not limited to, soft computing approaches such as:

  • fuzzy logic,
  • neural networks,
  • evolutionary computing,
  • rough sets,
  • swarm intelligence,

in/for:

  • image analysis: edge detection, segmentation, pattern recognition, object recognition, interpretation,
  • image enhancement: filtering, noise removal, enhancement, restoration,
  • image compression,
  • image reconstruction,
  • image similarity and image retrieval,
  • satellite image processing,
  • medical image processing,
  • mathematical morphology,
  • video processing and retrieval,
  • image formation and physics based vision,
  • 3-d processing,
  • shape-from-X,
  • scene understanding,
  • etc.
