This interdisciplinary activity is still in a relatively early stage of development, in terms of applied technology, and the size of the research efforts. This symposium is intended to serve several purposes: * To bring together vision and robotics researchers who are currently applying computer vision to medical image processing problems. * To increase communication between established researchers in medical image processing and computer vision researchers. * To provide information to researchers that are interested in the field. The symposium will consist of short presentations of papers and work in progress, and discussions. Working notes will be produced and distributed to the participants. Specific areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: * image guided medical procedures / robotics * image processing applied to laparoscopic and other endoscopic procedures * change detection in medical images * recognition in medical images * multimodal registration of medical images * elastic registration of medical images * motion analysis in medical images * anatomical atlases * applications of computer vision in segmentation of medical imagery Prospective participants are invited to submit one of the following to the symposium chair by October 15, 1993: an abstract of a paper to be presented, a description of research in progress, or a statement describing what you hope to contribute to and gain from the symposium.
