This talk will provide an introduction to the topics of this minisymposium. An overview of recent research in computational topology for image and shape analysis will be given, with focus on activities carried out by the Bologna group. This includes discrete Morse theory, persistent homology, Reeb graphs.

This presentation is part of Minisymposium “MS16 - Topological Image Analysis: Methods, Algorithms, Applications (3 parts)”
