European Congress of Stereology and Image Analysis
The International Society for Stereology (ISS), founded in 1961 and incorporated in 1963, includes members from the fields of mathematics, statistics, biology and materials science.
The purpose of the Society is to promote the exchange and dissemination of information, amongst persons of various scientific disciplines and countries, regarding Stereology - nominally the science of determining the spatial structure of materials - on the basis of sections and projections through the materials. Stereology also embraces the analysis of planar images per se, and three- dimensional probes of materials. A prime concern of the Society is all practical applications of Stereology. The ISS also promotes such associated fields as Image Analysis and Processing, Stochastic Geometry, Mathematical Morphology, Pattern Recognition, and Fractal Geometry.
A more recent interest has arisen in Biology and Medicine with respect to the above mentioned keywords.
