Goldstein, Dimitris Samaras Keynote speakers: Yoram Bresler (left) and Daniel Rueckert (right) Photos of the Workshop Overview Sparsity based compressive sensing and sparse learning have been widely investigated and applied in machine learning, computer vision, computer graphics and medical imaging. In the medical community, these methods have been used successfully to speed up MR scan time, MR image reconstruction, organ segmentation from CT and MRI and classification methods for diseases. Sparsity Techniques in Medical Imaging (STMI2014) is the second in a series of workshops on this topic in conjunction with MICCAI 2014. This workshop focuses on major trends and challenges in this area, and aims to identify cutting-edge research work with important potential impact in medical imaging. Accepted papers will be encouraged to submit to a special issue of The International Journal of Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics. Date and Location September 14th, 2014 8:00 - 12:00 at Boston, MA, USA Keynote Speakers Dr. Yoram Bresler from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Dr. Daniel Rueckert from Imperial College London Organizers Tsuhan Chen, Cornell University Ruogu Fang, Florida International University Zhi-Pei Liang, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Dimitris Metaxas, Rutgers University Pina C. Sanelli, North Shore - LIJ Health System Shaoting Zhang, University of North Carolina at Charlotte Objective The goal of this workshop is to advance scientific research in sparse methods for medical imaging. It will foster dialogue and debate in this relatively new field which includes Compressive Sensing (CS), Sparse Learning (SL) and their applications to medical imaging. The technical program will consist of previously unpublished and invited papers, with substantial time allocated for discussion. Topics This workshop will include, but is not limited to the following topics on sparse methods: Methodology: Efficient Sparse Learning Dictionary Learning Shape Prior Modeling Convex Optimization on Sparsity Priors Group Sparsity Structured Sparsity Low-rank Matrix Structures Large-scale Sparse Learning Multi-Source Sparse Learning Statistical Analysis Model Selection, etc. Applications: Image / Signal Reconstruction Image Segmentation Image Enhancement Image Registration Compressed Sensing Magnetic Resonance Imaging Anomaly Detection and Correction Proceeding: Cooperating Organization
