The international Image Processing Applications and Systems conference is intended for grouping from all
over the world challenging researchers, innovators, academicians, and practitioners in image processing
theory and tools, for following high level tutorials, sharing their achievements, exchanging their experiences
and discussing future orientations. The conference will also offer an opportunity to make a bridge between
image processing researchers and people working in other application fields such as medical doctors,
radiotherapists or industrial parts.
Special attention will be devoted to image processing algorithms and the way to implement these algorithms
for best performances. Hardware implementations on embedded platforms are of particular interest. Five
main topics will be treated:
