On behalf of Prof. Ian Sinclair, Dr. Bill Brocklesby and Prof. Jeremy Frey, co-Chairs of the Computationally Intensive Imaging (CII) University Strategic Research Group, we are delighted to invite you to the launch of this new university–wide group on Thursday 31st May 2012, 3.30-5.30pm in Building 6, Room 1077.
Speakers:
Prof. Ian Sinclair (Director µVIS X-ray Imaging Centre)
Prof. Peter Smith (Director Institute for Life Sciences)
Prof. Mark Nixon (Chair of Computer Vision, ECS)
Who should attend: University academics and research staff with interests at all levels of the development and/or application of digital imaging: from raw data acquisition and signal processing, to image analysis and digital curation.
Background: Computation may be identified as a core element of virtually all major imaging developments in recent years. The CII group provides a forum for cross-university interactions, bringing together and leveraging the many world-class imaging capabilities that exist at Southampton. We aim to increase awareness of skills and new developments in computationally-enabled imaging, allowing access to new techniques and identifying new applications and partnerships.
Objectives: This meeting will give an introduction to the aims and processes of the group, along with technical presentations by leading academics within the university.
Autumn Event: In October, the CII USRG will be presenting a talk by guest speaker Richard Waltham, on “Godfrey Hounsfield: Intuitive Genius of Computed Tomography”. Details to follow shortly, October 2012 at Turner Sims, Highfield Campus.
Further details are available on the multidisciplinary website.
