Description

“The Midwest Conference on Mathematical Methods for Images and Surfaces” was held in the Michigan State University on April 18-19. It created an excellent forum for researchers from engineering, biological, and mathematical sciences to exchange ideas and keep up with new developments. To further disseminate research findings presented and exchanged in the conference, The International Journal of Biomedical Imaging will publish a special issue entitled “Mathematical Methods for Images and Surfaces.”

The scope of this special issue is the same as that of the conference. However, to better fit the scope of the journal, research findings relevant to biomedical science and technology are particularly welcome. Original papers and high-quality overviews on a wide range of topics in images and surfaces are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Geometric flows, higher-order curvature flows, gradient flows for image, and surface analysis
Mumford-Shah functional
Level set methods and their applications
Wavelets, frames, and multiresolution analysis
Mathematical algorithms for images and surfaces
Image edge detection, segmentation, pattern recognition, and video analysis and processing
Computational methods for biomedical imaging
Algorithms for bioluminescence imaging, fluorescent imaging, PET imaging, ultrasound imaging, MRI, and tomography
Computational methods for anatomy
Mathematical analysis of protein and membrane surfaces

The papers solicited for this special issue are not restricted to the contributions presented during the Conference. Submissions from other researchers which fit the scope of this special issue are also welcome.

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijbi/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable:
