2018 Image Science Gordon Research Conference
Abstract
2018 Image Science Gordon The 2018 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Image Science will bring together an international community of experts and young investigators working in diverse imaging applications to share new insights, developments and research progress in the unique open environment that is the hallmark of a GRC. The diversity of modern imaging systems continues to grow at a dizzying pace. Imaging systems utilize radiation from Gigahertz to Gamma rays to investigate objects that range from Galaxies to Golgi bodies. Whereas the application areas seeking imaging solutions are broad and varied, they are tied together by a common theoretical framework. A common problem encountered by scientists across these varied application areas is that we are being overwhelmed with image data. Image scientists are discovering the enormous value that data science tools can provide to give value to the information extracted from image data. As an example of this trend, since January of 2016, there have been over 22,000 citable publications on various forms of machine learning methods in medical imaging alone. This trend is equally evident in the fields of remote sensing, defense-related imaging, astronomy, seismic imaging, and microscopy. For this reason, we selected the following theme for the 2018 conference: Creating Knowledge from Imaging Data. GRC Image Science 2018 program consists of 9 sessions each with two or three 40-min invited talks, each followed by 20 minutes of discussion. An invited discussion leader plays a significant role for each session, setting the stage for the session and moderating discussion following each presentation. The single-track format enables all attendees to hear every presentation and participate in the same discussions throughout. The session titles are: Imaging in Brain Science Discovery, Inverse Problems, Imaging at the Physical Limits, Observers, Perception, and Computer Vision, Compressed Sensing and Machine Learning, OCT and Adaptive Optics, Astronomical & Satellite Imaging, Novel Imaging Methods and Computational Imaging. The conference will bring together imaging scientists, in such diverse application areas as defense, remote sensing, homeland security, medicine, and astronomy, who face common challenges in the design and evaluation of imaging systems. This GRC will present a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary training of young scientists interested in image science and the application of image-science principles to further advances in the many imaging applications that arise within the Navy’s mission as well that of other defense and security agencies.Research Conference
