The aim of CTIC'2010 is to gather researchers dealing with the study of topological invariants from the computational point of view, and/or who want to use topological information in image applications. The workshop intends to provide an opportunity for participants, from different fields related to computational geometry, discrete geometry, geometrical modeling, algebraic topology and image processing to exchange ideas. Experiences of this kind are especially important for young researchers who are launching their research careers. It is also pretended to act as a catalyst for creating new collaborations, and starting new interdisciplinary projects. To achieve this goal, participants are encouraged to present an up-to-date survey of their research related to one of the topics of the workshop. Recent but yet unpublished results, reports on research in progress, and recently published results can be submitted. Recently published results will only be considered for oral presentations and won't appear in the conference proceedings. Works related to image applications using topological invariants are particularly welcome. Topics of the workshop include: computational geometry, discrete geometry, geometrical modeling, algebraic topology and image processing.


Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts describing either an up-to-date survey of their research related to one of the topics of the workshop listed above. Research in progress can also be submitted, as well as results that have been published recently. Works related to image applications using topological invariants are particularly welcome. Abstracts, written in English, should not exceed 8 single-spaced pages, and should be submitted before September 5, 2010.


Selected papers will be published in a special issue of Pattern Recognition Letters.
