Speaker: Dr. Anthony Yezzi Title: Partial Differential Equations in Image Processing and Computer Vision Date: January 24, 2003 Time: 3:15 pm Location: GCATT Room 325 Abstract: In this talk we survey a variety of applications of Partial Differential Equations to problems in image processing and computer vision ranging from anisotropic diffusion, curve evolution, shape analysis, and path planning. The talk will cover a variety of topics addressed in my graduate course of the same name. While the talk will primarily focus on particular problems addressed by PDE's, we will also briefly discuss some numerical methodologies (such as level set techniques) used in their implementation on the computer. While there will be many equations, I promise to also show lots of pretty pictures too!!
