Welcome to the 9th Summer School on Image Processing

This year's Summer School will be held between July 12-21, 2001, in Szeged, Hungary. SSIP is organized annually for graduate and PhD students interested in image processing. Students and teachers are invited to participate from all over the world.

There is no registration fee, however, pre-registration is required. Please provide us with a few details about yourself and your institution, so that we can plan for the attendance and make arrangements for accommodation, etc.

Accommodation for the duration of the Summer School will be provided for all participants in one of the University's dormitories for free. However, you have to bear the travel costs to and from Szeged as well as the cost for daily living (e.g., food).

A well established tradition of SSIP is that in addition to the morning lectures on a wide range of topics from image processing, in the afternoons, students work in teams and solve project assigments. On the last full day of the Summer School, teams present their results to fellow participants and an evaluation committee (selected from lecturers). The best project works are awarded by prizes.

Students will receive a certificate of attending the Summer School and passing the exam. This Summer School is accepted as a special PhD course by several Universities.

It is also a tradition of SSIP that on the last full day, there is a special session where students may present their own work (not the Summer School project) to the others.

We regret that the list of lectures is not yet available. It will be settled and made available online when we have the final list of participants. Meantime, please visit the web pages of SSIP from previous years, they should give you a good idea about what topics will be covered.

Should you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact the organizers.

We hope to see you at SSIP 2001 in Szeged.
