The 2013 ISBI Grand Challenges will be held on Sunday (April 7th, 2013) and Monday (April 8th,2013) morning.
The grand challenges chosen for ISBI 2013 are the following:
1. HARDI Reconstruction Challenge
2. 3D Deconvolution Microscopy Challenge
3. Computer Aided Detection of Pulmonary Embolism (CADPE)
4. 3D Segmentation of Neurites in EM Images
5. Automated Segmentation of Prostate Structures
6. Localization Microscopy Challenge
7. Cell Tracking Challenge
Additional details on these challenges are given below. The organization of each challenge is unique. The tasks, metrics, participation requirements, and important dates are given in the links provided. In general, each challenges is a combination of a contest and a workshop. The contest involves processing ground-truth data and is held during the months preceding the conference. During the conference workshop, additional data may need to be processes, participants will have the opportunity to present their methods, and all attendees will be invited to discuss the results.
We look forward to your participation in the ISBI Grand Challenges!
