This workshop aims to combine biological and computer vision research to enhance the scientific understanding of life. Non-destructive visual measurement is a cornerstone of biology, underpinning some of our most basic understandings of form and function. Yet, there have been relatively few efforts to accelerate these processes through the use of Computer Vision techniques. Bottlenecks exists when getting information from the physical to the digital domain (acquisition), assembling the raw digital data into a more meaningful form (analysis), and when adding knowledge to the data to enhance its usefulness (annotation). In each case there are many opportunities to employ Computer Vision research.
