Search Retrieval

Google search
Compression - Differential coding of ROI /
non-ROI areas - Differential coding along
object / area classes - Optimally store (MD)
data for later search / retrieval ( Google
search ) ? Interest for performing the
analysis in the compressed domain
Refined analysis - Localization
identification of features (MD production)
Remote access - Access to ROIs and MDs along
levels, z-planes, multi-spectra, etc.

• Perspectives (contributions to standards)
• Regarding existing standards in JPEG
• ? Determine recommended / optimal parameter
  settings
• JPEG 2000 Select optimal coding parameters
  ROI management Organize optimally the
  tiles data to offer optimal access to data
  (for remote access / JPIP)
• JP3D Select settings and optimal
  parameters ( including for
  multi-spectral data)
• Regarding emerging standards in JPEG
• JPSearch Specify needs / requirements for
  pathology Contribute to the JPSearch
  standardization process
• AIC (Advanced Image Coding) Consider
  usage / interest for pathology
• Contribution to International Standardization
  groups covering JPEG2000, AIC, JPSearch, DICOM,
  CEN and HL7

6) Dissemination activities

• COST IC0604 has reach mid-life time
• gt maturation is expected to be reached and
  dissemination is getting more important.
• gt JOINT publications have higher value.
• gt Do NOT forget to acknowledge COST IC0604,
  since this is the only measurable input
  establishing the link with COST.
• Identify publications to be organized
• Identify possible conference sessions to be
  organized
• Future events
• QoMEX 2010 conference (Trondheim, June 21-23,
  2010)
• ? To be complemented
