Workshop on Mathematical Foundations of Computational Anatomy
(MFCA-2006)
Geometrical, Statistical and Registration Methods
for Modeling Biological Shape Variability
The workshop will be held at Copenhagen on October 1st, 2006 in
conjunction
with MICCAI 2006. MFCA-2006 is devoted to geometrical, statistical
and registration methods for modelling the variability of
biological shapes. The goal of the workshop is to foster
interactions between researchers investigating the combination
of geometry and statistics in non-linear image and
surface registration in the context of computational anatomy from
different
points of view. A special emphasis will be put on theoretical
developments, applications and results being welcomed as
illustrations.
Contributions are solicited in (but not limited to) the following
areas:
* Riemannian and group theoretical methods on non-linear
transformation spaces
* Advanced statistics on deformations and shapes
* Metrics for computational anatomy
* Geometry and statistics of surfaces
Contributed papers should be 6 to 10 pages. Please refer to the
the web page of the workhop:

for further details.
