International Workshop on

Parallel Image Processing and Analysis -- Theory and Applications

(IWPIPA '99)

Madras Christian College, Tambaram, Chennai, India

January 15--16, 1999

IWPIPA '99 is the sixth in the series of workshops/conferences dedicated to parallel image analysis. Previous meetings took place in Paris (1991), Ube - Japan (1992), Washington DC (1994), Lyon - France (1995), Hiroshima - Japan (1997). IWPIPA consists of invited and contributed papers on theories, algorithms, architectures and applications in the field of parallel image analysis. It aims at providing a meeting place for researchers to have fruitful exchange of views and information. We hope to have systems demo as well, relevant to the topics and highlighting indigenous work.

Topics

Theories: array, graphs and parallel grammars, 2D/3D and cellular automata, digital topology.
Algorithms: parallel algorithms for image processing, complexity analysis of algorithms.
Architectures: parallel architectures for image processing, neural networks.
Applications: image processing systems based on parallel architecture
