SPECIAL SESSION
Applications of Partial Differential Equations in Geometric Design and Imaging
Abstract
The use of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and its applications has played an important role in many scientific and engineering disciplines. Nowadays PDE based techniques are becoming increasingly popular in many applications of geometric design and image processing. This special session provides an opportunity for researchers in the areas of geometric modelling, computer graphics, and image processing to present and discuss new methodologies and techniques used in their respective applications.
Topics for this session can include but are not limited to:
- Continuous and discrete shape modelling
- Volume modelling
- Graphics and rendering techniques
- Animation techniques
- Mesh generation and processing
- Image processing and detection
- PDE solution methods applicable to geometric design and imaging
