Résumé en anglais

This special issue highlights some recent developments in the field of mathematical image analysis. The emphasis of the issue is on the interplay between advanced mathematical methods (such as non-smooth optimization, variational methods and regularization, inverse problems, and partial differential equations) and their application to various problems in image processing and computer vision, including restoration, segmentation, and classification. The special issue comprises nine papers which cover a wide range of topics in mathematical image analysis as outlined below.
