Mathematical imaging is a
multidisciplinary field that synergizes many areas of
science, technology and mathematics to provide solid
foundation, new ideas and techniques and understanding of
almost every aspect of imaging science ranging from hardware
design to image enhancement, from image representation to
image understanding, and from modeling of pattern formation
to synthesis of artistic graphics.
Digital media comprises hardware and software systems that
enable real-time human-machine interaction. It involves a
wide range of technologies that cut across various
disciplines in sciences, mathematics, engineering and
computer sciences with applications in diverse fields,
including communications, education, medicine, finance,
games, entertainment and lifestyle.
Despite the distinctiveness of the two diversified fields,
mathematical imaging and digital media share many
commonalities when it comes to the use of mathematical
theory and computational tools. The purpose of this program
is to conduct multidisciplinary studies involving
mathematical perspectives and foundation of imaging science
and digital media. In particular, the program emphasizes on
the applications in imaging science and digital media of the
recent developments in the areas of approximation and
wavelet theory, numerical analysis and scientific computing,
and statistical and data analysis. The focus will be on the
following themes.
- Mathematical Imaging and Digital Media: Mathematical methods for computer graphics, computer vision, mesh generation, image restoration and reconstruction, image enhancement, image segmentation, object detection, image decomposition, image representation, image compression.
- Wavelet Theory and Applications: Sparse data representation and approximation by wavelets and redundant systems, noise removal, stochastic wavelet analysis, inverse problems via wavelet methods.

This workshop is a joint event between wavelet groups from China, France and Singapore. The aim is to communicate new developments and to explore research collaborations among researchers from the three countries in the areas of sparse data representation and approximation by wavelets and redundant systems, noise removal, stochastic wavelet analysis, and inverse problems via wavelet methods.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in various aspects in mathematical image processing and digital image to share the latest developments of the diversified field of image processing and digital media and to leverage the synergy between different research groups. The particular focuses of the workshop are the topics of computer graphics, computer vision, image restoration, image segmentation, computer vision, image representation, and image compression. International experts who employ mathematical methods, such as PDE, variational, wavelet and stochastic methods, in these topics will deliver talks on their latest research.
Summer School: 26 May – 6 Jun 2008
The Summer School brings together senior undergraduate
students and graduate students to the study of mathematical
imaging and digital media and their applications. It
consists of two weeks of tutorials and student oriented
seminars. It covers basic mathematical theory of imaging,
PDE and variational methods, graph-cut methods, wavelet methods and
applications to digital media and biomedical imaging.
