Description:
In the last decades we witnessed an enormous growth of attempts to model and understand the process of visual cognition. There were many fields of applications which contributed to this topic such as robotics, document processing, remote sensing, medical imaging, automatic inspection and so on.

Due to the complexity of this field there was a need for a multitude of new mathematical methods in order to model visual cognition processes adequately. Practically all fields of mathematics found applications here. It is therefore impossible to define such a topic as 'mathematical foundations of visual cognition'.

The aim of this Workshop is to bring together specialists from mathematics and from applications in order to discuss some highlights of the field.
