Computer Vision News - December 2016

Dear readers, As usual, this December issue of Computer Vision News is dedicated to the people, applications and techniques which help improve people’s lives. A good example is ICT4Life , a service to support independent life for people suffering of Alzheimer’s , Parkinson’s and other dementias, which we have chosen as the Application of the Month ; a retinal montage software is our Project of the Month , as it supports ophthalmologists in their quest for complete and meaningful images of their patients. You will also read stimulating interviews with thought- provoking scientists who accepted to be our guests: on one hand, Professor Nikos Paragios of Ecole Centrale Paris and INRIA will tell us his personal views on how deep learning is transforming our community, with visible benefits but also some hidden perils. On the other hand, Zoya Bylinskii of MIT will tell us her personal views about a host of interesting topics: find her in our Women in Computer Vision section. Nikos and Zoya are not our only guests: Veronika Cheplygina was so kind to tell us all about the recent Fall Meeting of the Dutch Society of Pattern Recognition and Image Processing in Eindhoven. Once again, our technical content is rich enough to satisfy even the most demanding of our readers: a new section called We Tried for You ; a great research paper called Shapes from Pixels , about a model to recover shape images with smooth boundaries from a set of samples; the Trick of the Month, with Web tools for visualization in medical image analysis; and our section about Image Processing Project Management : this time, our CEO Ron Soferman lectures on his recommendations about Proof of Concept (POC) , a crucial step in algorithmic projects. You will love reading this December magazine. Please keep sharing it with friends and colleagues. And subscribe , if you didn’t yet. Enjoy the reading!
