Description:
The outstanding recent progress in computer technology and image processing now allows to address, simulate
and analyze very complicated 3D dynamic systems involving momentum, energy and/or mass transfer in the
practice of engineering and medicine. These include analysis and display of vectorial fields, tensorial data sets,
and sequential dynamic events which occur in the 3D space and involve one or more temporal variables. The
success of the International Symposium on Imaging in Transport Processes,organized by the International
Center for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT) in Athens,Greece, in 1993, suggests the need to review new
modern developments and anticipate future research efforts.
Attention will be focussed on visualization, measurement and analysis of velocity, concentration and temperature fields in non-animate systems and transport and motion in living tissues. Of particular interest is the interplay between visualization of Transport Phenomena, and the quantitative information contained within the visual images, leading to better design of engineering devices and better diagnostics and therapeutics in physiological systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST 1.Enhanced Visualization: object recognition and feature extraction; shape analysis, 3D reconstruction and restoration; pattern recognition; digital imaging processing; Neural Networks. 2.Imaging and Visualization of Dynamic Fields: motion and flow (particle tracking, tracers, optics, etc.); heat transfer (thermography, liquid crystals, laser induced fluorescence-LIF); mass transfer; transport at interfaces; phase change (boiling/evaporation, melting, freezing, etc.); combustion. 3.Imaging and Visualization in Physiological Systems: molecular and cellular motion and transport; tissue and organ characterization tomography (optical, thermal, CT, MRI, PET, ultrasound); surface potential and signal analysis (heart, brain, etc.); 4.New Approaches: techniques, analysis, devices, etc.
