International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications (VISIGRAPP)

Venue: Angers-France

Event Date: 17-21 May, 2010

The purpose of the International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications is to bring together researchers and practitioners on the areas of computer vision, imaging and computer graphics, interested in both theoretical advances and applications in these fields. Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics are known areas which are becoming more and more interrelated with important interdisciplinary work, often as a result of an iterative combined process of image analysis and synthesis with models created in one of the fields being used to improve models created in another. Imaging is a research area particularly well known for its application results, recently noted especially in the area of Medical Imaging. The VISIGRAPP component conferences are specialized in the following topics: GRAPP is structured along four main tracks, covering different aspects related to Computer Graphics, from Modelling to Rendering, including Animation and Interactive Environments, IMAGAPP covers theory, applications and technologies related to image display, colour coding, medical imaging, remote sensing, business document processing, digital fabrication, printing and electronic devices and VISAPP has also four main tracks, namely: Image Formation and Processing, Image Analysis, Image Understanding and Motion, Tracking and Stereo Vision.
