Progress in Expressive Image Synthesis (MEIS2015), was held in Fukuoka, Japan, September 2527, 2015. The aim of the symposium was to provide a unique venue where various issues in computer graphics (CG) application fields could be discussed by mathematicians, CG researchers, and practitioners. Through the previous symposiums MEIS2013 and MEIS2014, mathematicians as well as CG researchers have recognized that CG is a specific and practical activity derived from mathematical theories. Issues found in CG broaden the field of mathematics and vice versa, and CG visualizes mathematical theories in an aesthetic manner. In this volume, the editors aim to provoke interdisciplinary research projects through thepeer-reviewed papers and poster presentations at the this year's symposium. This book captures interactions among mathematicians, CG researchers, and practitioners sharing important, state-of-the-art issues in graphics and visual perception. The book is suitable for all CG researchers seeking open problem areas and especially for those entering the field who have not yet selected a research direction.

Contains selected papers from the symposium "Mathematical Progress in Expressive Image Synthesis" (MEIS2015) Is authored by leading international researchers in the field Discusses contemporary issues and future collaborative projects by mathematicians, computer graphics researchers, and those who work in industry Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
