With the rapid increase in the variety and quantity of biomedical imaging in the past few years, we see a growing number of computer vision technologies applied in biomedical applications. The time is ripe for us to take a closer look at the successes and lessons learned in this research sub-domain, and to strategically position our future research directions. The scientific goal of this workshop is to examine the effects of diverse applications of computer vision techniques to biomedical image applications, considering both current methods and promising new trends. A novel workshop format will be used to enforce three additional goals of providing the opportunity for direct interactions between (1) prominent senior researchers with young scientists, including students, post-doctoral associates and junior faculty; (2) local researchers with international leaders in biomedical image analysis; and (3) computer scientists with medical doctors.
Each contributed paper must be authored primarily by a young scientist, and should reflect an in-depth understanding of both the biomedical image analysis problem being addressed and the computer vision techniques being applied. Accepted papers will be included in a printed proceeding as a book series, Lecture Notes of Computer Science published (www.springeronline.com/lncs) by Springer. A set of best papers from this workshop will be recommended for a special issue in the Medical Image Analysis (MIA) Journal. Please submit your paper, no more than 10 pages, in LNCS format. The review process for this workshop is single-blind.
Please e-mail submissions to janiceb+submissions@cs.cmu.edu.
