International Conference on Superresolution Imaging: Theory, Algorithms and Applications
August 29 -- 31, 2005
The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

The three-day conference is the second conference on Mathematics in Image Processing that holds in Hong Kong. The theme of the conference is on superresolution imaging -- theory, algorithms and applications. With the development of image processing applications, there is a big demand for high-resolution images since high-resolution images not only give the viewer a pleasing picture but also offer additional detail that is important for the analysis in many applications. The current technology to obtain high-resolution images mainly depend on sensor manufacturing technology that attempts to increase the number of pixels per unit area by reducing the pixel size. However, the cost for high-precision optics and sensors may be inappropriate for general purpose commercial applications, and there is a limitation to pixel size reduction due to shot noise encountered in the sensor itself. Therefore, a resolution enhancement approach using mathematical and computational techniques has been a great concern in many areas, and it is called superresolution. The aims of the conference are to promote research interest in mathematical and statistical models and computational methods in superresolution imaging for local researchers and engineers, and to foster contacts and exchanges with experts from other parts of the world.
