The technical challenges raised by the foundation of this new kind of journal and its scientific evaluation issues are described and the potential impact on the development of image science is analyzed.
Abstract
Image Processing On Line (IPOL) publishes image processing and image analysis algorithms, described in ac-curate literary form, coupled with code. It allows scientists to check directly the published algorithms on line by providing a web execution interface on any uploaded image. This installation acts the universality of image science. It permits to transcend the artificial segmentation of the research community in groups using this or that image software, or working on dedicated incompatible image formats. It promotes reproducible research, and the establishment of a state of the art verifiable by all, and on any image. This paper describes the technical challenges raised by the foundation of this new kind of journal and its scientific evaluation issues. It finally analyzes the first publications, to demonstrate its potential impact on the development of image science.

Reproducible Research: Addressing the Need for Data and Code Sharing in Computational Science

TL;DR: Roundtable participants identified ways of making computational research details readily available, which is a crucial step in addressing the current credibility crisis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overlaying Classifiers: A Practical Approach to Optimal Scoring

TL;DR: The goal of this paper is to propose a statistical learning method for constructing a scoring function with nearly optimal ROC curve by proposing a discretization approach, consisting of building a finite sequence of N classifiers by constrained empirical risk minimization and then constructing a piecewise constant scoring function sN(x) by overlaying the resulting classifiers.

A guide to accurate reporting in digital image processing - can anyone reproduce your quantitative analysis?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss how proper reporting of image processing methodology improves scientific reproducibility and strengthens the biological conclusions derived from the results of an image processing workflow, and illustrate the importance of proper reporting and documentation of microscopy relevant details.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints

TL;DR: This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images that can be used to perform reliable matching between different views of an object or scene and can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints

TL;DR: The Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (or SIFT) algorithm is a highly robust method to extract and consequently match distinctive invariant features from images that can then be used to reliably match objects in diering images.

The Mythical Man-Month

TL;DR: The Mythical Man-Month, Addison-Wesley, 1975 (excerpted in Datamation, December 1974), gathers some of the published data about software engineering and mixes it with the assertion of a lot of personal opinions.
