The conference set up four venues, which conducted in-depth discussions on topicsincludingvideo object detection and tracking, remote sensing big data intelligent interpretation, medical image classification and recognition, and machine vision image model analysis. Professor Shan Caifeng from Nanjing University, Professor Robert Minasian from the University of Sydney (IEEE Life Fellow), and Professor Laurent Cohen from the University of Paris-Sud (IEEE Fellow) respectivelygave keynote reports on“Visual Computing in Healthcare”,“Progress in Integrated Silicon Photonics for Photonic Signal Processing”,“Geodesic Minimal Paths for Contour Extraction in Images”. Associate Professor Zhang Ruiheng from Beijing Institute of Technology and Associate Professor Gary Tam from Swansea University shared their latest research results with special reports.
The Sub-venue
During the symposium on promoting the comprehensive revitalization of the Northeast in the new era,held during his inspection in Heilongjiang,General Secretary Xi Jinpingemphasizedthat we should lead the comprehensive revitalization of industries with scientific and technological innovation and strive to create a new situation of high-quality development in Heilongjiang. As Secretary Zhao Lin pointed out inhisspeech, thisconferencenot only representedHUST’s intention toexpandinginternational cooperation and mutual learning of scientific and technological innovation along the“the Belt and Road”, but also representeditsrunning directiontoserve the national innovation-driven strategy and the revitalization and development ofHeilongjiang. Next,HUSTwill guide teachers and students to firmly establish the national science and technology ambition, leverage the advantages of science and education, take the initiativetostrengthen forward-looking, strategicand systematic scientific research layout, better serving the country's high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and making scientific and engineering contributions to the construction of a strong country and the revitalization ofHeilongjiang.
