Applications of Computer Vision in Medical Image Processing

The American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) held its 1994 Spring Symposium Series on 19-23 March at Stanford University, Stanford, California. This article contains summaries of 10 of the 11 symposia that were conducted: Applications of Computer Vision in Medical Image Processing; AI in Medicine: Interpreting Clinical Data; Believable Agents; Computational Organization Design; Decision-Theoretic Planning; Detecting and Resolving Errors in Manufacturing Systems; Goal-Driven Learning; Intelligent Multimedia, Multimodal Systems; Software Agents; and Toward Physical Interaction and Manipulation. Proceedings of most of the symposia are available as technical reports from AAAI. There is a growing community of computer vision researchers who are working on medical applications. This interdisciplinary activity is in part application driven and related to the widespread proliferation of highresolution medical imagers.
