Background: I have an image acquisition problem based on a CCD with pixel defects. Layered over this acquisition process is a series of IP prossessing modules eg interpolation, white-point correction, gamma correction and compression. I also have a large amount of video taken from the device. Oh ... and there may be some optical filtering prior to capture! Specific Query: How do I go about reconstructing the parameters associated with each of the processes as well as the pixel defect pattern? Any hints on how I get my guys to tackle this problem? Collaboration very much encouraged. Regards Graeme ----------------------------- From: Bill Lionheart Subject: Postdoctoral position in inverse problems in systems biology Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2006 My colleagues in the Manchester Interdiciplinary Biocentre http://www.mib.ac.uk/ are interested in identifying coefficients in large systems of ODEs arising in systems biology. The job advert appears at http://www.jobs.ac.uk/jobfiles/AD704.html although the job description is not very well written I understand they are interested in recruiting a mathematician with experience in numerical solution of inverse problems. Of course we have an active Inverse Problems group here in the School of Mathematics, as well as strong groups in Dynamical Systems and Mathematical Biology and we have a good relations with our colleagues in the biomedical sciences. We would of course like to encourage mathematicans to apply.

We invite the submission of papers describing computational aspects of those imaging methods. This includes electrical impedance tomography, electrical capacitance tomography, magnetic induction tomography, optical tomography, etc. There are similarities as well as differences in computational aspects of different imaging techniques. The computational techniques may vary depending on the applications in mind. This special issue bringing together new results in different techniques, for different types of applications. Computation of the forward problems in 2D and 3D, sensitivity analysis, image and shape reconstruction methods. Various techniques, linear, nonlinear, statistical methods, data fusions are in scope of this special issue.
