The CBA is conducting a whole range of projects ranging from basic image analysis research to direct application work. By keeping close touch both with the theoretical front line research and with real life application projects, we believe that we make the best contribution to our field. In line with the stated goal for CBA, we have given priority to applications in the fields of biomedicine and the environmental sciences. We have also a number of projects relevant for the forest industry.
In this section, we list our current 44 research projects and provide a short description of each. We start with biomedical applications, then remote sensing for forestry and aquatic applications, followed by industrial applications, and finish with the basic research projects. Seven new projects were started during the year, and the same number were completed during the previous year.
For each project we list who at CBA is involved, where the funding comes from, when the project started (and finished), and who our cooperation partners outside CBA are.
Most of the application projects are carried out in close cooperation with researchers form other research areas. In Section 5.2 we list the 21 international groups in 15 countries and 44 national groups with which we have had active cooperation in 2002.
