CALL FOR PAPERS
The workshop on “SOFT COMPUTING AND IMAGE PROCESSING”
is part of the Conference ISDA 2009 (http://cig.iet.unipi.it/isda09/).
Vision in general and images in particular have always played an important and
essential role in human life. In the past they were, today they are, and in the
future they will continue to be one of our most important information carriers.
Nowadays, image processing and computer vision have numerous commercial, scientific,
industrial and military applications.
Soft Computing is an emerging field that consists of
major seminal theories which include fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms,
evolutionary computation, and neural networks. The capability of these
techniques to incorporate imprecision and incomplete information,
and to model very complex systems makes them a useful tool in many scientific
areas. Needless to say, image analysis is one of these areas.
This special session will cover a range of domains, from more traditional ones
such as image analysis at low, medium and high level, including patter
recognition and all the topics inherent to computer vision, all treated by
means of soft-computing techniques.
TOPICS
The topics for the special session include but are not
limited to:
·
fuzzy logic
·
neural networks
·
evolutionary computing
·
rough sets
·
swarm intelligence

etc.
in/for

scene understanding
·
etc.
