Description:

This is a workshop involving researchers in fundamental aspects of imaging sciences. The purpose is to disseminate the latest findings and to promote collaborations. It is also an opportunity to learn about topics in imaging sciences which are of interest to the military and homeland security. This meeting is designed to encourage interaction among the participants. The program is fundamental and mathematical in essence, and includes many of the leading contributors in mathematical image processing. A limited number of additional people of ONR interest will be invited to participate. Additional representatives from government agencies will also be invited. Interested parties may apply for participation but the number of attendees will be strictly limited.
