BioImage Informatics
This meeting was co-sponsored by HHMI/Janelia and the Max Planck Institute and was held at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany. It continues the successful series of BioImage Informatics conferences held annually. The need and use of image informatics in the life sciences continues to expand and novel methods enable new studies. Trends such as large and high-dimensional images, algorihtmic generality, and error quantification of image-processing results present stimulating challenges to both the method and application sides. The 2012 BioImage Informatics meeting highlighted novel concepts and advances in the methods and algorithms, advances in software tools, knowledge transfer from, e.g., Computer Vision, and significant biological applications of imaging. The conference traditionally also provides a forum for an in-depth discussion of the challenges in this area and the established and emerging software tools available to tackle them.
