This year, the international colloquium of LIX (Ecole Polytechnique) focuses on the
emerging trends and challenges of the foundations of the cross-disciplinary
area of <font color="FF0000">visual computing</font>.
Visual computing encompasses computational geometry, computer graphics, machine vision and learning (just to name a few),
and relies at its very heart on information geometry.
Visual computing is underpinning major industrial applications as attested recently by the
emerging fields of <font color="FF00FF">computational photography</font>,

<font color="FF00FF">3D cinematography</font> and
<font color="FF00FF">advanced biomedical imaging</font>.



The colloquium will review recent breakthroughs by renown invited experts and survey emerging trends and emphasize on key open challenges.
Participants are kindly ''encouraged'' to discuss on core scientific and technological issues that need to be further tackled.
