Dear reader, It is with great pleasure that I thank you for joining us by reading this February issue of Computer Vision News . As usual, we have great content prepared for you in the following pages. Our guest of the month is Tsvi Achler , who invented a ground-breaking brain-motivated AI core algorithm, based on his research as a neuroscientist. Tsvi’s path to uncover his findings is fascinating, don’t miss it. The guest in our Women in Computer Vision section is Tali Treibitz , who manages the Marine Imaging Lab , in the Department for Marine Technologies at the University of Haifa. Her work to make underwater images clearer is spectacular (as you noticed already on the cover of the magazine), her lab’s position is superb (as you will see at page 16) and her interview is lovely. You will also enjoy our other regular sections: a research paper presenting the Riesz pyramid , a new compact image pyramid representation that can be used for real-time phase-based motion magnification; a report of a Retina Thickness Measurement project by RSIP Vision ; a lecture in Project Management about Leading the Dream Team by our CEO Ron Soferman ; a preview of the upcoming Liver Tumor Segmentation challenge (chosen for ISBI 2017); the story of the Sesame Phone , an app that enables paralyzed people to control their Android phone using only tiny movements of the head; Matlab's Image DataStore , our Tool of the Month; DeepMedic , an award- winning Deep Learning method for tumors segmentation; and all the novelties that you will find in the Spotlight News section. You will love reading this February magazine. Please keep sharing it with friends and colleagues. And subscribe , if you didn’t yet. Enjoy the reading!
