Young Scientist Award
The Young Scientist Awards are prizes awarded to first authors of high quality MICCAI papers.
The nominees had to be full-time student at a recognized university or have been a student at most two years before the paper submission deadline.
The Young Scientist Awards were coordinated by Sebastien Ourselin, University College London.
An award committee composed of 5 members, voted on selecting the top papers by majority voting.
Among 30 papers corresponding to the eligible orals and papers with highest weighted average reviewing score , the top 13 papers were selected and then ranked by a second vote.
The 5 awardees are :
- Hang Su for his paper entitled :"Phase Contrast Image Restoration Via Dictionary Representation of Diffraction Patterns", authored by Hang Su, Zhaozheng Yin, Takeo Kanade, and Seungil Huh
- Eli Gibson, for his paper entitled :"Registration accuracy: How good is good enough? A statistical power calculation incorporating image registration uncertainty" authored by Eli Gibson, Aaron Fenster and Aaron D. Ward
- Stephanie Marchesseau for her paper entitled "Cardiac Mechanical Parameter Calibration based on the Unscented Transform", authored by Stephanie Marchesseau, Herve Delingette, Maxime Sermesant, Kawal Rhode, Simon G. Duckett, C. Aldo Rinaldi, Reza Razavi, and Nicholas Ayache
- Roland Kwitt for his paper entitled :"Recognition in Ultrasound Videos: Where am I?", authored by Roland Kwitt, Nuno Vasconcelos, Sharif Razzaque, and Stephen Aylward
- Robin Wolz, for his paper entitled :"Multi-organ Abdominal CT Segmentation using hierarchically weighted Subject-specific Atlases", authored by Robin Wolz, Chengwen Chu, Kazunari Misawa, Kensaku Mori, Daniel Rueckert
