LNLA2009
The past few years have witnessed dramatic developments in image processing.
While wavelet expansions have finally established themselves as the prototype of
a modern efficient approach to signal processing applications, adaptive local and
non-local approximations have emerged as novel surprisingly powerful tools for
image analysis, restoration, compression, and enhancement. The current state-of-the-art
in image processing exhibits a plethora of these diverse techniques, which are
apparently very different but deeply and intimately related through concepts
such as sparsity, redundancy, compressibility, and self-similarity.
The purpose of the LNLA workshop is to gather some of the leading specialists
working or interested in these areas and create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere
to talk about the latest and the most important issues in these fields.
One of the goals is to reach a unified view of the different approaches
and generate ideas about novel image models which can explain and drive
future development.
Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
- statistical image analysis
- natural image modelling
- sparse and redundant (overcomplete) representations
- directional, oriented, and anisotropic filters and transforms
- adaptive transforms
- higher-dimensional transforms
- learned transforms
- nonparametric approximations
- fractal image coding
- modelling of human vision
- application and efficient implementations in digital camera imaging
- image and video denoising, deblurring, and compression
- inverse problems in imaging
This is the second edition of this workshop, held for the
first time
in Lausanne, Switzerland, August 23-24, 2008.
The LNLA workshop continue the tradition of the TICSP International Workshop on Spectral Methods
and Multirate Signal Processing (SMMSP), held seven times in
2001,
2002,
2003,
2004,
2005,
2006 and
2007,
and of the TICSP International Workshop on Transforms and Filter Banks, held twice in
1998 and
1999.
All accepted papers will be published online in the IEEE Xplore.
