Dear Colleague,

A critical component for true realistic biomechanical analysis and
simulations is to obtain accurately, from images, the geometric data
and the behavior of the desired structures. For that, the use of
automatic, efficient, and robust techniques of image processing and
analysis is mandatory.
The main objective of this Special Issue, of the EURASIP Journal on
Advances in Signal Processing, on Image Processing and Analysis in
Biomechanics is to bring together recent advances in the related
fields (not limited to):

- Signal processing in biomechanical applications;
- Data interpolation, registration, acquisition and compression in
biomechanics;
- Segmentation of objects in images for biomechanical applications;
- 3D reconstruction of objects from images for biomechanical
applications;
- 2D/3D tracking and object analysis in images for biomechanical
applications;
- 3D vision in biomechanics;
- Biomechanical applications involving image processing and analysis
algorithms;
- Virtual reality in biomechanics;
- Software development for image processing and analysis in
biomechanics.
