One Day BMVA Technical Meeting in association with the IEE/E4 at the
Royal Statistical Society, London, UK on 18th April 2001
Call for Papers
The aim of this one-day meeting will be to explore common areas in
Medical Imaging and Astronomy.
Despite the radical difference in subject matter, it is clear that there
are methodological issues common to these two disciplines. In both there
is a need to acquire, process, interpret and store images of 2, 3 or
more dimensions. In addition both are interested in temporally and
spectrally resolved data that may be of a scalar, vectorial or tensorial
nature.
Possible areas of common interest are listed below, with examples from
Medical Imaging and Astronomy. Other topics will be considered.
Data mining - Functional Neuro-imaging Data; Correlation of Genome and
Image data Sloan Digital Sky Survey; Telescope Archives e.g. VLT 3D
from 2D - The Radon
Transform in X-ray CT; Attenuation/Emission estimation in PET Emission
and absorption of galactic dust; Echo-mapping of active galactic nuclei
Statistics of Shape & Texture - Bone appearance in x-ray images;
Statistics of rotations and tensors Morphology of galaxies; Large scale
clustering of galaxies
Temporal Data - Periodic tasks in functional neuro-imaging; cardiac
induced movement artefacts Periodic variation of astrophysical objects;
Variable objects in gravitational lensing searches
Image Processing - Registration of data from multiple modalities;
Feature Detection De-convolution/de-blurring/reconstruction; Fractal
Measures
