AIMS
Recently, 3D images are becoming widely used in a number of successful
applications, including machine vision, robot vision, visualization,
and virtual reality, to mention a few. This is mainly due to the
increasing performances of the technology underlying 3D sensor systems
that, coupled with their decreasing costs, are contributing to a wider
diffusion of such devices in both industrial and academic
environments. In fact, the vitality of this research is witnessed by
the increasing number of papers being presented at the major
international conferences in many disparate fields (e.g., SMC, CVPR,
ICCV, ICPR, ICIP). Moreover, recent advances of computing
capabilities has extended the scope of 3D image analysis and modeling
techniques, which are becoming as almost largely diffused as
traditional image processing and analysis methods and potentially more
powerful. This trend is also contributing to disclose new possible
applications, especially important in the context of the Information
Technology society.
TOPICS
In this special issue, we call for papers reflecting recent research
on the analysis and processing of 3D images and on the application of
these techniques to the solution of real-world problems. Prospective
papers should present either a novel methodological approaches or the
application of existing techniques to new and relevant problems.
Areas of interest are targeted on the use of 3D data and include, but
are not limited to:
Basic theory and techniques:
- Registration and fusion of 3D images
- Recovery of 3D shapes
- 3D scene/object modeling and rendering
- Human modeling
- Simplification of large models
Applications:
- Robot Vision
- Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Preservation of heritage
- Biomedical imaging and visualization
- Information Visualization
- Multimedia Broadcasting
