Intelligent image analysis for multimedia and medical applications

视觉多媒体和医学成像领域正在不断发展。在过去的1-20年里，人们对设计用于多媒体和医疗应用的高效图像分析系统的兴趣显著增加。许多新的应用领域，如计算机辅助诊断系统、图像可视化、基于内容的图像和视频检索、多媒体通信、图像和视频数据库、万维网，在现有技术的支持下是可行的。然而，随着新的应用程序的出现，新的要求正在被明确，在这一领域仍有大量的工作要完成。

The fields of visual Multimedia and Medical Imaging are continually evolving. During the past 1-2 decades, there has been a significant increase in the level of interest in designing efficient image analysis systems for multimedia and medical applications. Many new application areas, such as the Computer aided diagnostic systems, Image Visualization, Content-based Image and Video Retrieval, Multimedia Communications, Image and Video Databases, World Wide Web, are feasible with the current technology. However, as new applications are coming up, new requirements are being specified, and a substantial amount of work remains to be accomplished in this area.
