Introduction to Mathematical aspects of computer vision

  • Conference paper
Dynamical Systems, Control, Coding, Computer Vision

Part of the book series: Progress in Systems and Control Theory ((PSCT,volume 25))

  • 403 Accesses

Abstract

The goal of the minisymposium Mathematical Aspects of Computer Vision was to introduce the audience of MTNS98 to areas of research and open problems in computer vision that are mathematical, or, more generally, theoretical in nature. A further goal was to promote cross-fertilization between system and control and vision researchers.
