Objectives of the Conference: Inverse problems have been studied intensively in the establishment of mathematical theories and its applications to various engineering disciplines. An increasing involvement with industrial research in related to medical tomography, non-destructive testing, and geophysics has been observed due to the recent new development in both the fundamental theory and computational method. To extend a stronger collaboration link among the universities of Asia-Pacific regions and worldwide leading researchers in inverse problems, a first international conference on inverse problems was held at City University of Hong Kong during January 9-12, 2002. More than 120 participants from Asian-American-European countries had attended the conference with fruitful achievements. This series of conferences had also been held in Shanghai (2004 China), Hokkaido (2006 Japan), and Daejeon (2009 Korea). It is now an appropriate time to hold the fifth international conference on inverse problems in Hong Kong. The main purpose of the "International Conference on Inverse Problems" is to address both theoretical (mathematics), applied (engineering) and development aspects of inverse problems. It is envisioned that the conference will draw researchers from the Asian, American and European scientific communities. The conference is intended to nurture Asian-American-European collaborations in this evolving interdisciplinary area. Additionally, one of the focuses of the conference is to strengthen the application of inverse problems to engineering disciplines. Thanks and with Best Regards, Benny Y. C.

Written by the leading researchers in the field of image and video super-resolution, it surveys the latest state-of-the-art techniques in super-resolution imaging. Each detailed chapter provides coverage of the implementations and applications of super-resolution imaging. Its 14 sections span a wide range of modern super-resolution imaging techniques and includes variational, Bayesian, feature-based, multi-channel, learning-based, locally adaptive, and nonparametric methods. It discusses, among others, medical, military, and remote-sensing applications. The book can be used as a reference, a basis for short-courses on the subject, or as part of a graduate course on digital image processing. * Hardcover: 490 pages * Publisher: CRC Press; 1 edition (September 28, 2010) * ISBN-10: 1439819300 * http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1439819300/ ----------------------------- Subject: Inverse Problems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2010 From: Emma Avery Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 Inverse Problems November 2010 Volume 26, Issue 11 Table of Contents Regularization of ill-posed Mumford--Shah models with perimeter penalization Ronny Ramlau and Wolfgang Ring Global uniqueness in determining polygonal periodic structures with a minimal number of incident plane waves Johannes Elschner and Guanghui Hu Photoacoustic tomography in absorbing acoustic media using time reversal Bradley E Treeby, Edward Z Zhang and B T Cox Inverse spectral problem for a string equation with partial information Guangsheng Wei and Hong-Kun Xu Variational data assimilation to estimate the velocity in the wave equation J\'er\^ome Fehrenbach, Jennifer Oudry and Laurent Sandrin A stable recovering of dipole sources from partial boundary measurements A El-Badia and M Farah A posteriori error estimates in a globally convergent FEM for a hyperbolic coefficient inverse problem M Asadzadeh and L Beilina A boundary value transformation for an inverse source problem with point sources Dmitry Glotov Nuclear norm regularization with a low-rank constraint for matrix completion Hui Zhang, Lizhi Cheng and Wei Zhu Finite-element contrast source inversion method for microwave imaging Amer Zakaria, Colin Gilmore and Joe LoVetri Singular value decomposition for the truncated Hilbert transform A Katsevich An inverse scattering transform for the lattice potential KdV equation Samuel Butler and Nalini Joshi Illumination analysis of wave-equation imaging with curvelets Shen Wang, Maarten V de Hoop and Bj\orn Ursin Generalized Bregman distances and convergence rates for non-convex regularization methods Markus Grasmair Sparse channel separation using random probes Justin Romberg and Ramesh Neelamani Point source reconstruction principle of linear inverse problems Yasushi Terazono, Norio Fujimaki, Tsutomu Murata and Ayumu Matani Two regularization methods for solving a Riesz--Feller space-fractional backward diffusion problem G H Zheng and T Wei A three-dimensional muscle activity imaging technique for assessing pelvic muscle function Yingchun Zhang, Dan Wang and Gerald W Timm On the solvability and approximate solution of a two-dimensional coefficient inverse problem for a transport-like equation Zekeriya Ustaoglu, Bayram Heydarov and Serif Amirov Confidence bands for inverse regression models Melanie Birke, Nicolai Bissantz and Hajo Holzmann Joining RDC data from flexible protein domains Luca Sgheri Individual articles are free for 30 days following their publication on the web.
