Conference Title: "Mathematical Imaging: Wavelet Applications in Signal and Image Processing" Part of SPIE`s Annual International Symposium on Optical Appied Science and Engineering July 9-14, 1995 San Diego, California San Diego Convention Center, Marriot Hotel Marina Conference Chairs: Andrew Laine, University of Florida Micheal Unser, National Institutes of Health Victor Wickerhauser, Washington University Program Committee: Akram Aldroubi, National Institutes of Health Bjorn Jawerth, University of South Carolina Martin Vetterli, University of California, Berkeley Ronald Coifman, Yale University Ingrid Daubechies, AT&T Bell Laboratories Stephane Mallat, New York University Charles Chui, Texas A&M University Dennis Healy, Dartmouth College Arun Kumar, Southwestern Bell Technology Resources Gilbert Strang, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Patrick Flandrin, CNRS Lyons (France) Harold Hzu, Naval Surface Warfare Ctr. John Benedetto, Univ. of Maryland/College Park Keynote Speaker: TBA The analysis of signals and images at multiple scales is an attractive framework for many problems in computer vision, signal and image processing. Wavelet theory provides a mathematically precise understanding of the concept of multiresolution. The conference shall focus on novel applications of wavelet methods of analysis and processing techniques, refinements of existing methods, and new theoretical models. When possible, papers should compare and contrast wavelet based approaches to traditional techniques. Topics for the conference may include but are not limited to: - image pyramids - frames and overcomplete representations - multiresolution algorithms - wavelet-based noise reduction and restoration - multiscale edge detection - design of nonlinear operators - wavelet texture analysis and segmentation - Gabor transforms and space-frequency localization - wavelet-based fractal analysis - multiscale random processes - wavelets and neural networks (pattern recognition) - image representations from wavelet maxima or zero-crossings - wavelet compression, coding and signal representation - wavelet theory and multirate filterbanks - wavelets in medical imaging --------> EXTENDED DEADLINES <--------- Abstract Due Date: February 15, 1995.
