On first day of the conference, two tutorials were organized. First tutorial gave an insight about “Applied Image Processing on Defense Application”, delivered by Dr. Subrata Rakshit, Head Computer Vision, CAIR, Bangalore. To tell in a nutshell the key contents of his tutorial lecture was, an overview about Multi resolution, various Filtering techniques, Burt pyramids wavelet, Aliasing effects on edges with various real time examples, Image Magnification, Noise reduction in Images, PC based Noise Reduction, Multi Resolution coring, Image restoring, Image registration, Image Mosaic, Segmentation (Image/Video), Image and Video Fusion and its Applications. Second tutorial gave an insight about “Semantic Web and Linked Data”, delivered by Dr. Monika Solanki, Professor, University of Leicester, U.K. Summarize, the key contents of her tutorial lecture were Motivation towards the Semantic Web Application, moving from Syntactic Web (Current web) to Semantic Web, a clear view about Semantic Web and its Technologies, Data Linking and various Applications, Ontology concepts, Structure of Ontology and its needs, Ontology Language for Semantic Web, Ontology Engineering on Semantic Web, Resource Description Framework (RDF), OWL.
The keynote address was delivered by Dr. K. Chidnanda Gowda, Former Vice Chancellor, Kuvempu University, Advisor, Wipro, Bangalore. The gist of his speech was in accordance with the theme of our Third IEEE International conference on “Signal and Image Processing”. Another keynote address was delivered by Dr. Dipti Prasad Mukherjee, Professor, ISI Calcutta on Organ shape visualization using statistical shape model. Dr. P. Nagabhushan, Professor, University of Mysore delivered a key note address on Research problems around us: Image processing based futuristic problems.
Second and third day the research papers were presented in four tracks namely Image processing, Document processing & computer vision, Bio metrics & Bio medical signal processing and Data mining.
