The goal of this workshop is to quantitatively evaluate the performance of 3D image segmentation and tracking algorithms for three clinical applications, namely carotid artery, prostate and mandible and brain stem segmentation.
The competition will be conducted using a set of clinical image databases that cover a wider range of patients, pathologies, as well as image sources. We will develop dedicated comprehensive evaluation tools to target each individual application for an objective assessment of the algorithm performance. Three sets of test images will be provided to all participants. The first set includes expert, ground truth manual annotations and is used for fine-tuning the algorithms. The second set will be used to evaluate the methods before the workshop and provide results for the workshop papers. The third set will be used at the workshop to evaluate all submitted algorithms on-site. The evaluation results of each separate competition will be summarized in a top rank journal.
Submissions of the same algorithm already submitted to the main conference (or other workshops) are allowed, as well as submission of already published methodologies – the focus of this workshop is segmentation accuracy and stability under real-world conditions. The authors will be provided with the evaluation of their method on the second, abovementioned dataset in order to complete the result section of their workshop paper.
