Research related to the analysis of living structures (Biomechanics) has been carried out
extensively in several distinct areas of science, such as, for example, mathematics, mechanical,
physics, informatics, medicine and sports. However, for its successful achievement, numerous
research topics should be considered, such as image processing and analysis, geometric and
numerical modelling, biomechanics, experimental analysis, mechanobiology and Enhanced
visualization, and their application on real cases must be developed and more investigation is
needed.Additionally, enhanced hardware solutions and less invasive devices are demanded. On
theotherhand,ImageAnalysis(ComputationalVision)aimstoextractahighlevelofinformation
from static images or dynamical image sequences. An example of applications involving Image
Analysis can be found in the study of the motion of structures from image sequences, shape
reconstruction from images and medical diagnosis. As a multidisciplinary area, Computational

Preface
ThisbookcontainsthefullpaperspresentedatVipIMAGE2019—VIIECCOMAS
Thematic Conference on Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing,
which was held in Porto, Portugal, during the period 16–18 October 2019.
The event had 6 Invited Lectures and 70 contributed presentations originated
from fifteen countries: Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Czech Republic, France,
Germany,Indonesia,Italy,Poland,Portugal,Spain,Tunisia,Turkey,UKandUSA.
Techniques of Computational Vision have become predominant in our society.
For instances, fully automatic or semi-automatic image-based systems have been
developed to address tasks of surveillance, traffic analysis, recognition, inspection,
motion analysis, human–machine interface, virtual reality and aided medical
diagnosis and intervention.
OneofthenotableaspectsoftheComputationalVisiondomainistheinter-and
multi-disciplinary. Actually, principles and methodologies of other sciences, such
as informatics, mathematics, statistics, psychology, mechanics, medicine and
physics, can be found embraced into this domain. Additionally, one of the major
influences for thecontinual effort done inthis field ofthe human knowledge isthe
high number of applications that can be found in medicine. For instance,
computational algorithms can be applied on medical images for shape reconstruc-
tion, behaviour analysis, tissue characterization, 3D printing or computer-assisted
intervention and therapy.
The main objective of these ECCOMAS Thematic Conferences on
Computational Vision and Medical Image Processing, initiated in 2007, is to
promoteacomprehensiveforumfordiscussionontherecentadvancesintherelated
fields in order to identify potential collaboration between researchers of different
sciences. Henceforth, VipIMAGE 2019 brought together researchers representing
fields related to biomechanics, biomedical engineering, Computational Vision,
computer graphics, computer sciences, computational mechanics, electrical
engineering, mathematics, statistics, medical imaging, medicine, sports and
rehabilitation.
