MICCAI 2006

Introduction

MICCAI is the main international, peer reviewed scientific conference for Cores 1 and 2 of NA-MIC. This year we had a strong showing. Several meetings between NA-MIC participants occured, including:

• October 2, Monday, 10:30-11am [GMT+1] NA-MIC Meeting at MICCAI (Ron, Ross, Guido) - topic Algorithms Core progress/plans
• October 3, Tuesday, 1-2pm [GMT+1] NA-MIC Site PIs Meeting at MICCAI - topic Algorithms Core progress/plans

Delphine Nain won the best student paper in the category "Segmentation and Registration" for her paper entitled "Shape-driven surface segmentation using spherical wavelets" by D. Nain, S. Haker, A. Bobick, A. Tannenbaum. More: 3D Shape Analysis Using Spherical Wavelets
