The special track “Computational Bioimaging” will be held within the ISVC09

In recent years extensive research has been performed in the visualization and modeling of objects present in digital images. These images originate in various areas of science and engineering, including medicine, biology, astronomy, and physics. In medicine, for example, computational procedures allow us to clearly visualize and model human organs captured in magnetic resonance images. These procedures may have different purposes, such as 3D shape reconstruction, segmentation, motion and deformation analysis, registration, simulation, and enhanced visualization. The main goal of the proposed Special Track is to bring together researchers working in the related fields of Image Acquisition, Segmentation, Registration, Tracking, Matching, Shape Reconstruction, Motion and Deformation Analysis, Medical Imaging, Software Development, Grid, Parallel and High Performing Computing, to discuss and share ideas that will lead us to set the major lines of development for the near future. Therefore, the proposed Special Track will gather researchers representing the various fields of Computational Vision, Computational Mechanics, Mathematics, Statistics, and Biomedical Imaging. This track intends to contribute more realistic computational models extracted from images of living organisms and attempts to establish a bridge between practitioners and researchers from these diverse fields.

Main Topics We will consider the following topics in the Special Track (not limited to): - Image Processing and Analysis for Computational Bioimaging; - Segmentation, Reconstruction, Tracking and Motion Analyse in Biomedical Images; - Biomedical Signal and Image Acquisition and Processing; - Computer Aided Diagnosis, Surgery, Therapy, Treatment and Telemedicine Systems; - Software Development for Computational Bioimaging; - Grid and High Performance Computing for Computational Bioimaging.
