PREVIOUS EDITIONS

VipIMAGE2007 - I ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing was organized in Porto, Portugal, in October 2007. The challenge of organizing a scientific event on such focused subjects was a considerable success with 10 invited expertise lecturers, 44 oral presentations distributed by 13 sessions and 20 posters in a total of 75 participants from 16 countries (from Europe, Asia and America) representing academia, research institutes, medical centers and industry.

The proceedings book of VipIMAGE2007 was published by Taylor & Francis Group (Proceedings of the I ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing: VipIMAGE 2007, Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal, 17-19 October 2007, Editors: João Manuel R.S. Tavares and R.M. Natal Jorge, ISBN: 9780415457774, Publication Date: October 2007, Pages: 414).

Additionally, it was edited and published a book under the series “Computational Methods in Applied Sciences” of SPRINGER, with 16 invited works from the most important ones presented in ECCOMAS VipIMAGE2007 (Advances in Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing: Methods and Applications, Series: Computational Methods in Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Editors: João Manuel R. S. Tavares, R. M. Natal Jorge, ISBN: 1402090854, Publication Date: December 2008, Pages: 296).

The same organizer committee organized in Porto, Portugal, in October 2009, the VipIMAGE2009 - II ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing. Once more, the challenge of organizing a scientific event on such focused subjects was successfully achieved: VipIMAGE2009 had 6 invited expertise lecturers, 64 oral presentations distributed by 18 sessions (10 generic and 8 thematic sessions) and 17 posters in a total of 95 participants from 20 countries (from Europe, Asia and America) representing academia, research institutes, medical centers and industry.
The thematic sessions organized in the scope of VipIMAGE2009 were: 1) Computer Vision in Robotics, 2) Imaging of Biological Flows: Trends and Challenges, 3) Processing and Classification of Satellite Imagery, 4) Small Animal Imaging: Trends and Techniques, 5) Texture Image Analysis: Methods and Applications.

The proceedings book of VipIMAGE2009 was also published by Taylor & Francis Group (Proceedings of the II ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing: VipIMAGE 2009, Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal, 14-16 October 2009, Editors: João Manuel R.S. Tavares and R.M. Natal Jorge, ISBN: 9780415570411, Publication Date: October 2009, Pages: 467).

In addition, it was edited and published a book under the series “Computational Methods in Applied Sciences” of SPRINGER, with 19 invited works from the most important ones presented in VipIMAGE2009 (Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing - Recent Trends, Series: Computational Methods in Applied Sciences - Vol. 19, Editors: João Manuel R. S. Tavares, R. M. Natal Jorge, ISSN: 9789400700109, Publication Date: November 2010, Pages: 349).

In October 2011, the VipIMAGE2011 - III ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing was organized in Olhão, Algarve, Portugal. This third edition of VipIMAGE2011 was also a success, with 6 invited expertise lecturers, 64 oral presentations distributed by 18 sessions (12 generic and 6 thematic sessions) and 15 posters, and around 100 participants from 16 countries.
Six thematic sessions were organized in the scope of VipIMAGE2011: 1) Imaging Techniques Applied to Soft Tissue Biomechanics, 2) Simultaneous MR-PET Imaging, 3) Satellite Image Analysis for Environmental Risk Assessment, 4) Dental Imaging and Processing Techniques, 5) Digital Mammography and 6) Imaging of Biological Flows: Trends and Challenges.

The proceedings book of VipIMAGE2011 was also published by Taylor & Francis Group (Proceedings of the III ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing: VipIMAGE 2011, Olhão, Portugal, 14-14 October 2011, Editors: João Manuel R.S. Tavares, R.M. Natal Jorge, ISBN: 9780415683951, Publication Date: September 2011, Pages: 460).

It was also edited and published a book under the series “Lecture Notes in Computational Vision and Biomechanics” of SPRINGER, with 16 invited works from the most important ones presented in VipIMAGE2011 (Medical Image Processing and Computational Vision, Series: Lecture Notes in Computational Vision and Biomechanics - Vol. 8, Editors: João Manuel R. S. Tavares, R. M. Natal Jorge, ISSN: 9789400707252).

Finally, a special issue of The International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, ISSN: 2040-7939 (print) - 2040-7947 (online), John Wiley & Sons, dedicated to the VipIMAGE2011 has been published.

VipIMAGE 2013 - IV ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing (c/link para a pagina da edição de 2013) was organized by the same organizer committee in Madeira, Portugal, in October 2013. The challenge of organizing a scientific event on such focused subjects was again completely achieved: VipIMAGE 2013 had 4 invited expertise lecturers, 74 oral presentations distributed by 18 sessions (13 generic and 5 thematic sessions) in a total of 85 participants from 17 countries (from Europe, Asia and America) representing academia, research institutes, medical centers and industry.

The thematic sessions organized in the scope of VipIMAGE 2013 were: 1) Imaging of Biological Flows: Trends and Challenges, 2) Trabecular Bone Characterization: New trends and challenges, and 3) Computational Vision and Image Processing applied to Dental Medicine.

The proceedings book of VipIMAGE 2013 was again published by Taylor & Francis Group (Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing IV, Proceedings of the IV ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing: VipIMAGE 2013, Funchal, Portugal, 14-16 October 2013, Editors: João Manuel R.S.
