Mathematical models in image processing

Energy minimization models are often used in many image processing problems, such as tomography, image denoising or segmentation. Incorporating a priori information about the solution into the energy minimization model is called regularization. Shape descriptors are often applied as regularization. Several important shape descriptors will be presented and analyzed. Calculus of variations is a mathematical discipline which provides a good basis for solving several segmentation problems, especially with the help of active contour models. The presentation will provide a brief overview of this area.
