Research methodology for image analysis

Post graduate course given Nov.-Jan. 2009-2010

Who:
This course is primarily intended for PhD students who started their research career recently. Although the course mainly focussed on image analysis, Ph.D. students in other subjects are welcome and could benefit from this crash course in the practical sides of being a scientist.

Goal:
The goal is to give general and useful knowledge about how to become a good and published researcher in image analysis and/or various applications thereof. Many questions of the type "How?" and "Where" will be answered.

Contents:
The course consists of two parts.
The first part is a series of lectures on general themes. Some written material will be handed out and a few small tasks should be handed in.

In the second part is a series of seminars held by the participants. You will read six consecutive issues of a relevant scientific journal and make an oral and a written report. You should give a characteristic of the general contents and quality of the journal, and study at least two articles in detail. During the oral presentation, the other participants have read the selected articles beforehand and should ask questions. The collected written reports will become a report that should be a good guide for selecting journals for publishing own work. (See CBA Internal Reports 8, 20, 31, and 45.) These presentations should of course be made in the spirit of the course, using tips from the lectures.

Language: English

Examination: Participation in the lectures and seminars, a few exercises, and an oral and a written report on the selected journal.

Venue: Centre for Image Analysis, House 2, Polacksbacken, Uppsala

Literature: Handouts and Scientific journals.

Credits: 3

Organiser: Prof. Gunilla Borgefors
