Automatic Medical Image Diagnosis
The Signal Processing Society (SPS) is pleased to announce the 5-Minute Video Clip Contest (5-MICC) at ICIP 2021 in Anchorage, Alaska, USA (19-22 September, 2021) .

The topic chosen this year is Automatic Medical Image Diagnosis. The automatic detection, identification, classification, or discrimination of various medical conditions, components, and aspects is essential in today's medical practices, enabling for example detailed and high-precision diagnosis to be possible. In various medical imaging applications such as dermoscopic, fundoscopic, and endoscopic imaging, automatic processing of abnormalities and aberrations greatly help physicians in the diagnosis process. Automatic medical image processing also reduces the necessary time spent by medical experts analyzing images and video frames in order to find and conclude their assessments.
The submitted videos can cover any aspect of the Automatic Medical Image Diagnosis problem. For example, videos may deal with the process of image acquisition, label and metadata registration, from region-of-interest identification and detection, to medical annotation and classification at aid practitioners. Alternatively, videos can focus on alternative techniques developed to replace medical experts or assist personal pre-screening.
Nonetheless, the contest will also accept “open topic” video submissions, regarding signal processing theories and applications, even if they are not directly related to the topic of Automatic Medical Image Diagnosis. The rationale for this is to engage the broad Signal Processing community to come up with creative ideas. Open topic submissions will compete together with submissions of the chosen yearly topic, evaluated by a judging panel with additional members reflecting the submitted open topic areas.
The contest is open for submissions from IEEE SPS members, including undergraduate and graduate students of all majors, as well as researchers from all over the world. Each team must be composed of: (i) One faculty member (the Supervisor); (ii) At most one graduate student (the Tutor), and; (iii) At least three but no more than five undergraduates. At least three undergraduate team members must be either IEEE SPS student members or SPS members by the time they submit the full 5-minute video (see below).
