The TREC-2002 video track report
TREC-2002 saw the second running of the Video Track, the goal of which was to promote progress in content-based retrieval from digital video via open, metrics-based evaluation. The track used 73.3 hours of publicly available digital video (in MPEG-1/VCD format) downloaded by the participants directly from the Internet Archive (Prelinger Archives) (internetarchive, 2002) and some from the Open
Video Project (Marchionini, 2001). The material comprised advertising, educational, industrial, and amateur films produced between the 1930's and the 1970's by corporations, nonprofit organizations, trade associations, community and interest groups, educational institutions, and individuals. 17 teams representing 5 companies and 12 universities - 4 from Asia, 9 from Europe, and 4 from the US - participated in one or more of three tasks in the 2001 video track: shot boundary determination, feature extraction, and search (manual or interactive). Results were scored by NIST using manually created truth data for shot boundary determination and manual assessment of feature extraction and search results. This paper is an introduction to, and an overview
of, the track framework - the tasks, data, and measures - the approaches taken by the participating groups, the results, and issues regrading the evaluation. For detailed information about the approaches and results, the reader should see the various site reports in the final workshop proceedings
Classification and Retrieval of Digital Pathology Scans: A New Dataset
In this paper, we introduce a new dataset, \textbf{Kimia Path24}, for image
classification and retrieval in digital pathology. We use the whole scan images
of 24 different tissue textures to generate 1,325 test patches of size
10001000 (0.5mm0.5mm). Training data can be generated according
to preferences of algorithm designer and can range from approximately 27,000 to
over 50,000 patches if the preset parameters are adopted. We propose a compound
patch-and-scan accuracy measurement that makes achieving high accuracies quite
challenging. In addition, we set the benchmarking line by applying LBP,
dictionary approach and convolutional neural nets (CNNs) and report their
results. The highest accuracy was 41.80\% for CNN.Comment: Accepted for presentation at Workshop for Computer Vision for

A Survey on Brain Tumor Classification & Detection Techniques
A cancerous or non-cancerous mass or growth of abnormal cells in the brain. The research shows that in developed countries the main cause of death of people having brain tumor is incorrect detection of brain tumor. The X-ray, CT, MRI is used for initial diagnostic of the cancer. Today Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is widely used technique for the detection of brain tumor because it provides the more details then CT. The classification of tumor as a cancerous (malignant) or non cancerous (benign) is very difficult task due to the complexity of brain tissue. In this paper, review of various techniques of classification and detection of brain tumor with the use of Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) is discussed
The INCF Digital Atlasing Program: Report on Digital Atlasing Standards in the Rodent Brain
The goal of the INCF Digital Atlasing Program is to provide the vision and direction necessary to make the rapidly growing collection of multidimensional data of the rodent brain (images, gene expression, etc.) widely accessible and usable to the international research community. This Digital Brain Atlasing Standards Task Force was formed in May 2008 to investigate the state of rodent brain digital atlasing, and formulate standards, guidelines, and policy recommendations.

Our first objective has been the preparation of a detailed document that includes the vision and specific description of an infrastructure, systems and methods capable of serving the scientific goals of the community, as well as practical issues for achieving
the goals. This report builds on the 1st INCF Workshop on Mouse and Rat Brain Digital Atlasing Systems (Boline et al., 2007, _Nature Preceedings_, doi:10.1038/npre.2007.1046.1) and includes a more detailed analysis of both the current state and desired state of digital atlasing along with specific recommendations for achieving these goals
