[Insight-developers] Workshop on Microscopic Image Analysis with Applications in Biology

[Miller, James V (GE, Research)]

Microscopic Image Analysis with Applications in Biology 
Sep 21 2007
Piscataway, NJ

The automatic analysis of microscope imagery plays an increasingly
important role in biosciences research. Novel imaging devices such as
the confocal and two photon (or multi-photon) electron microscope,
automated stages for electron microscopy, and higher resolution electron
tomography enable researchers to image biological systems at the
cellular and sub-cellular scale. These datasets pose a number of
challenges that are very distinct from conventional clinical imagery in
their size and abundance, the detail of relevant features and their
statistics. Sophisticated algorithms are necessary to process such
imagery and extract biologically relevant features and information. The
design, development and application of such algorithms are the focus of
this workshop <http://www.miaab.org/miaab-2007-call-for-papers.html> . 

The first international workshop on Microscopic Image Analysis with
Applications in Biology
<http://www.miaab.org/miaab-2007-call-for-papers.html> , MIAAB 2006 was
held in conjunction with MICCAI 2006. Based on the strong interest and
high quality of the submissions we decided to hold this workshop as an
independent one day event in 2007. Biological datasets pose a number of
challenges that are very distinct from conventional clinical imagery in
their size and abundance, the detail of relevant features and their
statistics. Sophisticated algorithms are necessary to process such
imagery and extract biologically relevant features and information.
