  • Image Processing Conference (X-post)

    Dear Biomch-L subscribers,

    The following item is cross-posted from Usenet
    (sci.image.processing), and may be of interest for applications
    of medical imaging in biomechanics.

    V I P '93

    International Conference on
    Volume Image Processing

    University Hospital Utrecht, The Netherlands
    2 - 4 June 1993


    First announcement and Call for papers (abstracts)


    AIM, SCOPE

    VIP '93 is the fourth in a series of annual conferences held in
    Utrecht, The Netherlands. The previous meetings were titled '3D
    Image Processing and Visualization'. The main reason for starting
    the conference series was to make available to the scientific
    community the results of the national priority programme '3D
    Computer Vision'. This programme, carried out by the Universities
    of Utrecht, Delft, Amsterdam and the University Hospital Utrecht,
    is subsidized by the Netherlands government through a SPIN grant
    and by a number of industrial companies (in 1992: Agfa-Gevaert,
    Philips Medical Systems, KEMA). Since the programme is
    approaching the end of its first (SPIN) phase, it was judged
    timely to discuss the research results in a broader context, by
    calling for papers from other groups working in the field of 3D
    image processing. The scope of the conference was also broadened,
    by including image measurement and applications in biology among
    the main themes, so as to anticipate on the expected close
    cooperation with the groups working in '3D Image Analysis',
    another national priority SPIN-programme approaching the end of
    its first phase. The new name of the conference was chosen to
    reflect the changed scope and set-up. VIP '93 will be a small-
    scale international conference in that a substantial fraction of
    the contributions is expected to come from Netherlands groups,
    for reasons outlined above. Another important aspect of the
    meeting is that it will focus on contributions from young
    scientists, notably graduate students and early post-docs. The
    organizers hope that VIP '93, like the previous conferences, will
    be a meeting place for people working in university research and
    industrial R & D, and provide a platform for exchanging recent
    research results and discussing ideas for future work.


    TOPICS

    Papers on any topic in three-dimensional image processing in its
    broadest sense are welcome. The main themes of the conference
    will be:

    (i) image representation
    (ii) multimodality matching
    (iii) segmentation, classification
    (iv) volumetric visualization
    (v) image measurement
    (vi) applications (clinical, biological, industrial)


    FORMAT

    The conference will be a three-day, single track meeting (no
    parallel sessions), with oral presentations and a poster session.


    CALENDAR

    Indicate whether you prefer an oral presentation or a poster!
