2014 Image Science Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：2014年戈登研究会议（GRC）图像科学将汇集成像专家，年轻的研究人员和学生在不同的成像应用领域工作的国际社区，分享新的见解，发展和研究进展，在独特的开放环境中，这是一个GRC的标志。尽管寻求成像解决方案的应用领域广泛而多样，包括从细胞结构到遥远星系形成的一切研究，但它们被与现代成像系统生成的数据集的一致性相关的共同技术问题以及与成像设备的客观比较和优化评估相关的独特问题联系在一起。图像科学现在是一门独立的科学，而不仅仅是一种支持其他科学努力的工具。图像科学有其自身的原理和计算方法，因此所有成像模式都可以通过一个共同的科学框架联系在一起。这个新的GRC会议系列是2010年11月举行的国家科学院凯克未来倡议会议的后续行动，该会议汇集了成像科学家，以探索和建立尖端成像研究的跨学科联系。戈登图像科学研究会议的成立将为同一目的提供一个持续的场所，将成像学科的成像科学家聚集在一起，分享与成像应用领域共享的成像系统设计和评估相关的独特挑战的想法和解决方案。2014年图像科学GRC由FDA的凯尔J.迈尔斯博士和理查德G.帕克斯曼，通用动力学博士-先进的信息系统。它将于2014年6月8日至13日在马萨诸塞州伊斯顿的斯通希尔学院举行。杰出的演讲者将在九个会议上发表演讲，每个会议都反映了图像科学的一个重要方面：1）客观评估图像质量的方法和观察员; 2）成像中对象模型和先验的使用; 3）基于任务的成像系统设计; 4）自适应成像; 5）从多个时间点和成像平台提取信息; 6）四维或多维成像; 7）压缩和编码传感系统; 8）天文学中的图像科学; 9）非常规成像。戈登研究会议的指导原则是鼓励交流和讨论该领域最前沿的想法和新的未发表的结果。因此，预计只有未发表的研究是（口头） 在海报会议上）。为了促进对前沿研究的讨论，GRC正式“非正式”，在会议之前，期间或之后没有发表摘要或论文集。这将是这次会议的一个独特和引人注目的方面，不同于成像领域的任何其他方面。本次会议的主要目标是为年轻的研究人员创造机会并提供支持性的指导机会，以提高他们的研究潜力和成功的可能性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2014 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Image Science will bring together an international community of imaging experts, young investigators, and students working in diverse imaging application areas to share new insights, developments and research progress in the unique open environment that is the hallmark of a GRC. Whereas the application areas seeking imaging solutions are broad and varied, including the study of everything from the structure of cells to the formation of distant galaxies, they are tied together by common technical issues related to the enormity of the data sets generated by modern imaging systems and the unique issues associated with the evaluation of imaging devices for their objective comparison and optimization. Image Science is now a science in its own right, rather than simply a tool to support other scientific endeavors. Image Science has its own principles and computational methods, such that all imaging modalities can be tied together via a common scientific framework. This new GRC meeting series is a follow- up to a National Academies Keck Future Initiative Conference held in November of 2010, which brought together imaging scientists to explore and build on interdisciplinary connections in cutting edge imaging research. The establishment of a Gordon Research Conference on Image Science will provide a sustained venue for this same purpose of bringing together imaging scientists across imaging disciplines to share ideas and solutions to the unique challenges associated with the design and evaluation of imaging systems that are shared across imaging application areas. The 2014 Image Science GRC is being organized jointly by Kyle J. Myers, PhD of the FDA and Richard G. Paxman, PhD of General Dynamics - Advanced Information Systems. It will be held June 8-13, 2014 at Stonehill College in Easton, MA. Distinguished speakers have been identified to present in nine sessions, each reflecting an important aspect of Image Science: 1) Methodologies and Observers for Objective Assessment of Image Quality; 2) Use of Object Models and Priors in Imaging; 3) Task- based Design of Imaging Systems; 4) Adaptive Imaging; 5) Extraction of Information from Multiple Time Points and Imaging Platforms; 6) Imaging in Four or More Dimensions; 7) Compressive and Coded Sensing Systems; 8) Image Science in Astronomy; 9) Unconventional imaging. The guiding principle of a Gordon Research Conference is to encourage communication and discussion of ideas and new unpublished results at the very frontier of the field. Thus it is expected that only unpublished research is presented (both orally and in poster sessions). To promote the discussion of cutting-edge research, GRCs are officially "off-the-record," with no abstracts or proceedings published before, during, or after the conference. This will be a unique and compelling aspect of this meeting, unlike any other in the imaging field. A primary goal of this meeting is to create opportunities and offer supportive mentoring opportunities for young investigators to enhance their research potential and likelihood of success.
