CBA has extensive cooperation with other research groups, locally as well as nationally and internationally. Our research philosophy is that good application work in image analysis requires good competence both in image analysis technology and in the specific application field. We have, and are constantly building, the highest possible expertise in image analysis within our CBA and are seeking the expertise in the applications through close cooperations with other researchers. We are also trying to bring our results out from the research situation into real world use. In order to achieve this, we are cooperating with several companies, local and central government agencies, and hospitals.
The names of our cooperation partners can be found in various places in this report, but to give an overview, we list below the partners with whom we had direct project cooperation during 2002.
