Provisional Programme Summer School in Image Processing with Applications in Medicine and Robotics Szeged, Hungary 4 - 15 July 1994

Each morning will comprise lectures from 9:00 until about 12:00. An outline of the lecture topics is given below. However, this is fairly flexible and may change, for example on request from students. There will be a small examination on the final Thursday in the form of a Multiple Choice Questionaire. The most important part of the Summer School will be the project work. Students will e expected to work on their projects in the afternoons, for example from about 15:00 to 18:30. The projects will be presented on the final Thurday, and a small prize will be given for the best project.
