EUROPEAN SUMMER COURSE ON RECENT ADVANCES IN IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUES


                  4-8 September 1995, Hamburg, Germany.

                   Organised by ESPRIT/BRA 7130 (NAT)
        and hosted by the University of Technology of Hamburg-Harburg.

   A course on 'Recent Advances in Image Processing' will be held in 
   the Department of Information and Communication Sciences at the 
   University of Technology Hamburg-Harburg on 4-8 September 1995 
   presented by instructors drawn from five European Universities 
   active in the field of image processing research as well as 
   practical sessions given by invited speakers from industry.
   
   The course will be spread over five days and will include formal 
   lectures complemented by 'hands on' sessions, as well as a visit to 
   the Mikroelektronik Anwendungszentrum Hamburg (MAZ). Social events 
   will also be arranged in conjunction with the course, including a 
   Reception at the City Hall of Harburg. All attendees will be given 
   a comprehensive set of lecture notes.
   
   WHO SHOULD ATTEND

   The course will be of interest to engineers, software developers, 
   systems developers, research scientists and PhD students, involved in 
   image processing research and development.
    Application areas may be as diverse as visual inspection, parallel 
   algorithms and systems and medical imaging. A basic knowledge of 
   standard image processing techniques would be an advantage.
 

   Particular emphasis will be given to nonlinear techniques.
   Topics will be drawn from:

*  Neural networks                *  Fuzzy techniques            
*  Colour and Motion              *  Sensor fusion               
*  Stack filtering                *  Chaotic Systems             
*  Morphological Filtering        *  Median and order statistics 
*  Polynomial filters             *  Applications in speech,     
*  Pattern recognition               image and image sequence    
*  Architectures                     processing.                 
*  Parallel implemantation

   Provision will be made for "HANDS ON" sessions.
