Reneta Barneva, professor and chair of the Department of Applied Professional Studies, together with Professor Valentin Brimkov from SUNY Buffalo State, served as guest-editors of the recently published special issue on Combinatorial and Discrete Geometric Problems in Image Analysis of the Springer journal Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence.
The journal is listed in Science Citation Index Expanded – a collection of over 6,500 leading journals spanning from 1900 to present day, covering more than 150 disciplines and known for their rigorous selection process.
The special issue, comprising 12 papers and over 220 pages, is devoted to image analysis – a scientific discipline which provides the theoretical foundation for solving problems related to health, robotics, security, and various aspects of natural sciences and technology. While the traditional approaches are based on continuous models requiring rounding, combinatorial approaches use more accurate discrete models and algorithms. The papers address discrete models on various grids, discrete transformations, properties of digital lines, planes, curves, and surfaces, image reconstruction, dealing with noisy data, image segmentation, and others.
