SIAG on Imaging Science
Contents |
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.

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

SIAM Imaging Science Prizes
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 2016 prize was awarded to Yonathan Aflalo, Ron Kimmel, and Dan Raviv for their work on scale invariant geometry for nonrigid shapes.
- The 2014 prize was awarded to Alfred M. Bruckstein, David L. Donoho, and Michael Elad for their fundamental contribution to the theory and practice of sparse representations and compressed sensing, and their popularization within the imaging science community.
- The 2012 prize was awarded to Rodrigo Palma-Amestoy, Edoardo Provenzi, Marcelo Bertalmio, and Vicent Caselles for their work on color enhancement.
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 2016 prize was awarded to Mauricio Delbracio.
