11th Workshop "Theoretical Foundations of Computer Vision"

Geometry, Morphology, and Computational Imaging

Schloß Dagstuhl/Wadern (near Saarbrücken/Germany)

April 07 - 12, 2002

Chairmen

Tetsuo Asano (Japan), Reinhard Klette (New Zealand), Christian Ronse (France)


Image analysis and computer graphics depend on geometric modelling and analysis of objects in two- or multidimensional spaces. Different disciplines such as digital geometry, mathematical morphology, polyeder geometry or computational geometry, just to cite a few, are closely related to progress in image analysis and computer graphics.

The seminar discussed theoretical fundamentals related to those issues and specified open problems and major directions of further development in the field of geometric problems related to image analysis and computer graphics. The seminar schedule was characterised by flexibility, working groups, and sufficient time for focused discussions. There is an

  • edited volume of seminar papers (within the Springer LNCS series).

    Contributions in this volume are related to one of the following subjects:

    • geometric algorithms for computer vision for extracting structures from images, geometric shape matching, image segmentation and image restoration,
    • mathematical morphology (shape descriptors, connectivity models, topological algorithms, grey-level and colour image geometry),
    • geometric feature analysis (length of a curve, area of surfaces in 3D, curvature: models, algorithms, performance analysis, multigrid convergence).

    Workshop participants contributed with short (20 min) or long (40 min) talks to the seminar.

    Four working groups have been formed on day one of the seminar for smaller and more focuses meetings during the week.
