The 7th International Workshop on Biomedical Image Registration 2016 Call for Papers

WBIR'16 - CALL FOR PAPERS

The 7th International Workshop on Biomedical Image Registration 2016
(WBIR'16) will be held at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada on June
26, 2016 (tbc) as an official workshop of the IEEE Conference on
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR'16).

Conference Website: http://wbir2016.doc.ic.ac.uk

Paper submission deadline: March 16, 2016
Conference date: June 26, 2016 (tbc)
 
==============================================================
 
The Workshop on Biomedical Image Registration aims to bring together
leading researchers in the area of biomedical image registration to
present and discuss recent developments and methodology in the
field. The workshop will include a single-track of both oral and
poster presentations and ample opportunities for discussion. WBIR has
been recognized as a top venue for researchers working on biomedical
image registration problems.

Previous WBIRs were held in Bled, Slovenia (1999), at the University
of Pennsylvania, USA (2003), at the University Medical Center Utrecht,
The Netherlands (2006), in Luebeck, Germany (2010), at the University
of Vanderbilt, Nashville, USA (2012), and University College London,
UK (2014). The proceedings of the conference will be published by
IEEE, with a special journal issue planned.
 
Original submissions are invited in all areas of biomedical image
registration. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Novel registration methodology: 2D/3D/4D, spatiotemporal/dynamic,
slice-to-volume, projective, single/multi-modal, intra/inter-subject,
model-based, patch-based, multichannel, tracking, continuous/discrete
optimization, real-time, similarity measures, machine learning
techniques

- Biomedical applications of registration: computer-assisted
interventions, image-guided therapy, treatment planning/delivery,
diagnosis/prognosis, atlas-based segmentation, label fusion,
histopathology correlation, serial studies, morphometry, biomechanics,
image retrieval/restoration/fusion, imaging biomarkers for precision
medicine

- Early proof of concept, and computer vision registration methodology
with potential use in biomedical applications

- Validation of registration: quantitative and qualitative methods,
benchmarking, comparison studies, phantom studies, correlation to
outcome
