What is this all about?

X-ray computed tomography (CT), confocal microscopy, magnetic resonance (MR) are examples among several imaging modalities that outcome volumetric (or 3D) images. These imaging modalities provide visual information to study the interior of humans, animals, plants, minerals, with many applications to Medicine, Geology, Biology, and other areas of the Sciences and Engineering. A fundamental problem, however, is the visualization of the content of interest in those 3D images, named objects, which might be pores of a rock, organs of a human body, and stem cells of a plant, for instance.

In this course, you will learn the basic operations from Image Processing and Computer Graphics for the visualization of those objects of interest from volumetric images.
