An international conference on "PDE-Based Image Processing and Related
 Inverse Problems", will take place August 8-12, 2005 in Oslo, Norway.
 http://www.cma.uio.no/conferences/2005/imageprocessing_workshop.html
 
 The purpose of this conference is to have international experts to come
 to Oslo and exchange new ideas and results in this field. The conference
 will focus on, but will not be limited to the following topics for image
 analysis and processing:
  * Noise analysis and removal
  * Image inpainting
  * Image segmentation
  * 3D image analysis including shading, motion, shape and edge detection
  * Analysis and processing of MR images and brain mapping
  * Diffusion-tensor image analysis
  * Simulation and image techniques for ECG and other medical techniques
  * Image processing and data mining for Internet communication and
    information technology.
 
 Inverse problems for partial differential equations have large areas of
 applications. One widely studied application is for oil reservoir
 simulations. Although image analysis and PDE inverse problems seem to be
 unrelated at a first glance, there are many techniques used in one of
 these two areas that are useful for the other. For example, many of the
 regularization techniques and segmentation ideas used for image
 processing have found interesting applications in inverse problems
 within oil reservoir modeling. We shall use this conference to highlight
 some of the recent efforts in merging different techniques for these two
 research areas.
