Periyar University covers four backward districts namely Salem, Namakkal, Krishnagri and Dharmapuri. The University at present has 24 Departments, five Constituent Colleges and one PG extension centre offering various UG, PG, M.Phil, and Ph.D. programmes. The Department updates its syllabi frequently to attract young talents from all over the country. The academic activities of the Department, during the last four years, were focused on teaching and research programmes in computer science with a view to train post-graduates and researchers who can contribute significantly to the requirements of professional organizations in the field. financial support to the start-up companies and enable the tenant companies to mature over a period of 2-3 years and graduate to a commercial place to do the actual business. The involvement of the faculty of the institute in the technology start-up activity reinforces teaching and research, strengthens linkages between education and industry, and also better aligns education to meet market requirements. The Department currently runs four academic programmes leading to the award of M.C.A., M.Sc. (CS), M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees. The mission of the Department of Computer Science is to impart high quality post graduate education and carry out leading edge research in various research areas such as Image processing, Pattern Recognition, Data Mining, Mobile Computing and Bioinformatics. ABOUT THE WORKSHOP ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT INCUBATION AND TRANSFER CENTRE TECHNOLOGY The Department of Computer Science was established in the year 2002, with the objective of imparting high quality education in the domain of Computer Science and Applications. The Department received Rs. 54.50 Lakhs for Special Assistance Programme (SAP) from UGC in the year 2011. With rapidly evolving technology and the continuous need for innovation, the Department has always produced quality Professionals, holding important positions in Information Technology industries in India and abroad. Recognizing the importance of Technology Incubation, many institutions of higher learning have already taken initiatives to nurture this activity. These include policy measures, infrastructure support, entrepreneurial training, IPR facilitation, and create a framework to nurture technology incubation. The incubation centres provide a host of services to new enterprises and facilitate linkages that are congenial for their survival and growth. The centres also network with Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists who provide mentoring and Segmentation is a vital aspect of medical image processing. It aids in the most important tasks in improving medical diagnosis and therapy. A Region of Interest (ROI) is a selected subset of samples within an image identified for a particular purpose. In medical image segmentation, this identifies the boundaries of objects such as organs or abnormal regions in the images. The main motive is to discuss the problems encountered in segmentation of medical images, and the relative merits and limitations of methods currently available for segmentation of medical images. This workshop will feature invited talks, key note addresses and hands on training.
