Abstract :
Summary form only given. The field of image processing and analysis is very broad, encompassing a wide variety of research issues, from efficient encoding of images and video sequences, through image enhancement and restoration to image segmentation, recovering spatial shape from shading and pattern distortions, learning about 3D from multiple unregistered 2D images, of image sequences, and high level image understanding topics. Consequently, researchers in this field rely on an amazingly wide variety of mathematical and computational techniques in their attempts to solve the many problems that arise. The grand challenges in image processing are therefore issues concerning syntheses and synergies between the variety of methods, however, the most important challenge remains the wise choice of problems worth focusing on.
