[Thomas Deselaers]

ImageCLEF 2007: Registration now open, Call for Participation

Registration is now open for ImageCLEF 2007, a benchmarking event for
retrieval from image collections. ImageCLEF is part of CLEF the Cross
Language Evaluation Forum (http://www.clef-campaign.org). Registration
forms are available from the webpage. Registration and participation is
free of charge.

ImageCLEF 2007 consists of four independent subtasks:

 - Medical Retrieval from ~70000 images with multi-lingual
   textual case notes

 - Retrieval from a generic collection of 20000 tourist and sport
   photographs with semi-structured multilingual captions

 - Detection of object classes

 - Hierarchical annotation of medical radiographs


Main goal is to evaluate the combination of information retrieval
and image understanding applications using visual data, multilingual
text, and combinations of the two.

The most interesting approaches in the medical annotation task will be
invited to publish in a special issue of Pattern Recognition Letters.

Information regarding all tracks will soon be available from the
ImageCLEF website at http://ir.shef.ac.uk/imageclef/ .


If you have any questions wrt. to ImageCLEF 2007 feel free to contact
me.

Thomas Deselaers & the ImageCLEF team.
