Hosted by Intern. Wissenschaftsforum Heidelberg, sponsored by MATCH and CM2
Welcome
Variational methods form the core methodology of mathematical modeling and computational approaches to image analysis. They provide a solid basis for linking theory to applications and for taking into account various mathematical aspects of this multidisciplinary field.
The Symposium brings together leading experts in order to
- survey the state-of-the-art research in the field,
- present recent progress in relevant mathematical and computational methods,
- elucidate connections to applied problems of image analysis,
- identify open research problems of image analysis and understanding,
- initiate cooperation in future research.
Presentations are particularly encouraged that explicitly address challenges and perspectives.
The program will comprise invited talks and a poster session. We particularly encourage young active researchers to attend and to participate in the poster session in order to discuss and present their work. Due to space limitation, registration is mandatory for attendance (except for invited speakers) together with providing information for the program committee, both if you plan to present a poster or not. There will be no conference fee.
The symposium belongs to a series of scientific events organized on occasion of the 625th birthday of the University of Heidelberg in 2011. It is supported by the Mathematics Center Heidelberg (MATCH) and by the Center for Mathematical and Computational Modelling Kaiserslautern (CM2), and associated with the Graduate School (HGS) of the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR), and the Heidelberg Collaboratory for Image Processing (HCI).
