The aim of this IAPR-TC is to promote interactions and collaboration between researchers working on discrete geometry. Conferences and a TC web page are provide these opportunities. The topic is not covered by other IAPR-TCs, but has links with some of them.
The main conference is the Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery (DGCI) conference. DGCI is a series of conferences of which the first was held in 1991 in Strasbourg, and now held every 18 months. It is an international conference by its participants, its scientific committee and its location. Since the 6th DGCI (November 1996), proceedings have been published by Springer Verlag, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
In combination with each DGCI, a TC meeting is held to give the possibility for the members to discuss the activity of the TC. An electronic newsletter is sent regularly to the members.
The TC18 web page is maintained in order to access easily information on on-going research for researchers active within the field, as well as information on basic notions for researchers in related fields, or interested in starting an activity in discrete geometry. The web page contains the scope and purpose of the TC and the list of its members. Moreover the plan is to also add: a list of main references and description of basic notions, a list of open problems, information on related conferences, a data base with test images and shapes, and announcements for Ph.D and post-doctoral positions. Some of this has already been done.
