Summer School 2011 - Image Registration

The Medical Informatics group at Linköping University will arrange this year's SSBA Summer School.

The summer school provides an introduction to image registration and the design of efficient and stable state-of-the-art algorithms. It is based on FAIR – Flexible Algorithms for Image Registration and the publicly available FAIR toolbox (primarily designed as an academic and teaching tool) which enables easy access to even complex schemes. The summer school enables participants to use the software, explore existing registration techniques, and to design and develop new solutions for specific problems.

The summer school also covers the integration of new problem specific features like mass-preservation and hyperelasticity. Based on important applications, particular demands on registration schemes are identified and the tuning of algorithm is demonstrated. The summer school provides educational material for training of students, clinicians and new researchers in the field of image registration. The targeted participants are clinicians, computer scientists, engineers, and all others with interest or demand for registration.

Prerequisite

The summer school is intended for primarialy PhD students, hence, courses in calculus, linear algebra, optimization, signal/image processing are considered as prerequisites. The lab exercises will be performed using Matlab and thus, familiarity with Matlab is also expected.

Registration

To register for the summer school, send an email to Daniel Forsberg. The last date of registration is 2011-06-30 and be aware of that there is a limited number of places available. Only Swedish residents are eligble to apply for the summer school, and where PhD students and members of SSBA and AgoraLink will have precedence.

Registration Fee

1500 SEK
