emMathematical Nonlinear Image Processing/em deals with a fast growing research area. The development of the subject springs from two factors: (1) the great expansion of nonlinear methods applied to problems in imaging and vision, and (2) the degree to which nonlinear approaches are both using and fostering new developments in diverse areas of mathematics. emMathematical Nonlinear Image Processing/em will be of interest to people working in the areas of applied mathematics as well as researchers in computer vision. emMathematical Nonlinear Image Processing/em is an edited volume of original research. It has also been published as a special issue of the Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision. (Volume 2, Issue 2/3).
