SIAG on Imaging Science

Contents

[edit] About Us

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) sponsors Activity Groups to provide a more focused forum for members interested in exploring one of the areas of applied mathematics, computational science, or applications.

The SIAM Activity Group on Imaging Science (SIAG/IS) brings together SIAM members and other scientists and engineers with an interest in the mathematical and computational aspects of imaging.

[edit] Research focus

In recent decades, the analysis of 2D and 3D images and video has become vital to many areas of science, medicine, engineering, manufacturing and entertainment. Typical objectives include image formation, compression, reconstruction, restoration, registration, motion recovery, tracking, feature extraction and semantic interpretation. Moreover, recent developments in the technology of imaging have also contributed to the explosive growth in the highly interdisciplinary field of "imaging science," generating new mathematical problems which cut across disciplines.

At the same time, increasingly sophisticated mathematical, statistical, and computational methods are being employed in these areas. The techniques utilized, besides those from traditional areas of mathematics, often originate in fields such as information theory, computer graphics, machine learning and speech technology, and include those based on linear transforms, harmonic analysis, nonlinear optimization, numerical linear algebra, integral equations, partial differential equations, differential geometry, statistical estimation and stochastic modeling.

[edit] Join SIAG/IS

Membership in SIAG/IS is open to all members of SIAM. You can join online by filling out this form.

[edit] Mailing List

The activity group maintains a mailing list at siam-imaging@siam.org. Members may submits posts on job openings, conference and short-course announcements, recent book publications and PhD thesis announcements, along with other items of interest to the entire SIAM imaging community. The list is moderated by the secretary of SIAG/IS and posts should be approved within a few days of submission.

[edit] Prizes

[edit] Best paper prize

Established in 2010, the SIAM Imaging Science Best Paper Prize is awarded to recognize outstanding papers on the mathematical and computational aspects of imaging. The prize is awarded every two years.

General information of the prize can be found on the SIAM website.

  • The 2012 prize was awarded to Rodrigo Palma-Amestoy, Edoardo Provenzi, Marcelo Bertalmio, and Vicent Caselles for their work on color enhancement.

[edit] Early career prize

Established in 2015, the SIAM Imaging Science Early Career Prize is awarded to an outstanding early career researcher in the field of imaging science for distinguished contributions to the field in the three calendar years prior to the year of the award. The prize is awarded every two years.

General information of the prize can be found on the SIAM website.

  • The 2020 prize was awarded to Yaniv Romano.
  • The 2016 prize was awarded to Mauricio Delbracio.

[edit] Related to imaging science

[edit] SIAM Journal on Imaging Science (SIIMS)

The SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences covers all areas of imaging sciences, broadly interpreted. It includes image formation, image processing, image analysis, image interpretation and understanding, computer graphics and visualization, and inverse problems in imaging; leading to applications to diverse areas in science, medicine, engineering, and other fields. Formal approaches, at the level of mathematics and/or computations, as well as state-of-the-art practical results, are expected from manuscripts published in SIIMS. SIIMS provides a broad authoritative source for fundamental results in imaging sciences, with a unique combination of mathematics and applications. SIIMS is mathematically and computationally based, and offers a unique forum to highlight the commonality of methodology, models, and algorithms among diverse application areas of imaging sciences.
