Workshop on Non-Linear Model Based Image Analysis
July 1-3 1998
Thistle Hotel, Glasgow, 
http://www.spd.eee.strath.ac.uk/noblesse/nmbia98

Due to the overwhelming volume of image data it is necessary to 
have new intelligent methods for image representation and analysis.
As well as image coding methods such as MPEG4 and MPEG7 these higher 
level descriptions will have applications in model based browsing, 
navigation, keying, interpolation and tracking. The topics below 
represent key aspects of research which will form the building 
blocks of future systems and standards.
*Object Oriented Coding
*Segmentation
*Database Retrieval
*Image/Video Restoration
*Image Models
*Video Pre/Postprocessing
*Colour in Image Processing
