CALL FOR PAPERS
BIOMEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING III AND 3-D MICROSCOPY
Part of 1992 SPIE/SPSE Symposium on Electronic Imaging
February 9-14, 1992, San Jose, California, USA
The large variety of imaging modalities for the exploration of objects
of biomedical interest has led to the necessity for solving many problems
related to the specific characteristics of the radiation and sensing apparatus
used. Acquired biomedical images typically suffer from degradation related
to the physical limitations of the imaging device. These degradations serve to
complicate the generic goals of analysis and interpretation. This conference
is devoted to the presentation of new techniques directed towards the improved
interpretation (interactive or automated) of biomedical images obtained from
practical systems. Papers are colicited which detail methods for reconstructing
images from partial information, for correcting image defects, or for
effectively extracting/analyzing/interpreting practical images of biomedical
interest.
This conference will also explore the rapidly developing field of three-
dimensional microscopy. Consideration will be given to the characteristics
of the overall system design, including the illuminating source, imaging
optics and electronics sensors as well as to digital methods for producing
and displaying the resulting 3-D reconstruction. Recent innovations in
microscopy are having a large impact especially in the biological and
medical fields. Because these microscopes are now fully integral systems
incorporating both optical and electronic elements, it is hoped that the
broad range of relevant topics being presented at this symposium will serve
to encourage interactions among instrumentation engineers, computer image
analysts and biological and medical researchers.
Papers are invited in the following and related areas:
Biomedical Image Processing
- Image reconstruction
- Image restoration and enhancement
- Feature enhancement and extraction in biomedical images
- Biomedical image analysis and interpretation
- Multi-dimensional biomedical image processing
- Motion analysis in biomedical images
3-Dimensional Microscopy
- Confocal Microscopy
- 3-D and time-resolved image acquisition systems
- Hybrid optical/electronic image processing systems
- 3-D image processing and analysis
- 3-D image reconstruction
- Spatio-temporal reconstruction of living cells and tissues
- Image visualization techniques for 3-D microscopy systems

Chairs below.
Important dates:
Applicants will be notified of acceptance by mid-November.
Camera-ready abstact is due December 2, 1991
Manuscript is due January 13, 1992
Location:
The conference will be held in San Jose Convention Center, San Jose,
California USA, as a part of SPIE/IS&T Symposium on Electronic Imaging.
This symposium will provide rich interaction environment because of
numerous simultaneous conferences (Image Processing Algorithms, Image
Compression and Reconstruction, Image Processing Hardware, Nonlinear
Image Processing, etc.) and because of its location in the heart of the
Silicon Valley.
