4th Workshop on Computational Biomedical Image Processing and Analysis

In the recent years, extensive research has been performed to develop efficient and robust computational methods for image processing and analysis. These methods can be applied in numerous areas such as, industry, engineering, security, medicine, remote sensing, and biology. Moreover, they can perform different tasks and address distinct goals, like image restoring and smoothing, image enhancement, image segmentation, classification and description, 3D reconstruction, deformation or motion analysis, and assisted diagnosis. Medicine has been one of the several application domains in which these computational methods are extensively applied, particularly in supporting the medical diagnosis, the follow-up of pathologies, assisting surgery procedures, medical training, improved anatomical atlas construction, and the design of superior treatment plans and procedures. The main goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of issues related to Computational Methods for Biomedical Image Processing and Analysis, in order to provide a space where the research and industrial communities can show the novel works developed in the nowadays and set the major lines of development for the near future. The workshop (WCBIPA) will consist of researches representing various fields related to Biomedical Engineering, Computational Vision, Mathematics, Medical Imaging, among others, and aims also to establish a network between clinicians, biomedical industries and researchers from these fields.
