Sommario/riassunto

When pundits refer to the death of community, they are speaking of a number of social ills, which include, but are not limited to, the general increase in isolation and cynicism of our citizens, widespread concerns about declining political participation and membership in civic organizations, and periodic outbursts of small town violence. Making a Place for Community argues that this death of community is being caused by contemporary policies that, if not changed, will continue to foster the decline of community. Increased capital flow between nations is not at the root of the problem

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis, IWCIA 2020, held in Novi Sad, Serbia, in July 2020. The 20 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. The papers are grouped into two sections. The first one includes twelve papers devoted to theoretical foundations of combinatorial image analysis, including digital geometry and topology, array grammars, picture languages, digital tomography, and other technical tools for image analysis. The second part includes eight papers presenting application-driven research on topics such as image repairing, annotation of images, image reconstruction, forgery detection, and dealing with noise in images.
