Western Project Week Summer 2017

Slicer Project Week is a hands-on activity in which medical image computing researchers and students create solutions using the image computing platform,  3D Slicer, and its CMake , VTK, and ITK components. It is intended for novices as well as experienced users, focusing on learning the basics, developing programs, and interacting with world experts in this exciting field. This is the first extension Slicer project week. Originally proposed as a small Slicer hackfest, it has quickly grown into a full blown project week with an additional meeting in conjunction with SPWW to discuss and develop goals specific to image-guided therapy, making it the inaugural Slicer IGT Project Week as well.

This event is endorsed by the MICCAI Society.

From 10:30 to 11:00 a.m. HAST, Kitware co-founder Charles Law will present “Deep learning applied to challenges in detecting melanoma cells in lymph node biopsies.” Read about more activities in which members of Kitware will participate at CVPR.

The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) 2017 is taking place in Bloomington, IN from July 25 – 28. The ESIP Federation was founded in 1998 by NASA as a community of researchers and groups that build and interpret applications for Earth and environmental science data. The federation aims to make research data and information more accessible to decision and policy makers, as well as to the public. ESIP’s interdisciplinary and inclusive meetings are a member-led mix of plenary talks, breakout sessions, poster presentations, technical workshops, and networking opportunities about emerging and persistent topics in Earth science data.

Kitware’s Aashish Chaudhary presented a workshop titled “HDF Analytics” on Tuesday, July 25 from 9:30am – 11:00am.
Workshop summary: HDF data from many scientific disciplines can be integrated into analytical tools for analysis and visualization on desktops and over the network. Analytical results can be saved to HDF for archive or distribution.
Remote Participation: Workshop notes folder | Meeting link | Access Code 152-507-869 | Phone (571) 317-3122
