Computer Vision News - September 2020

357 Emanuele Trucco Best of ECCV 2020 really healthy amount of attention from big and small companies for automatic analysis, for triaging, for assisted diagnosis, for vision detection, and so on. I can give you a selfish example of what we do. We collaborate with NIDEK, which is one of the big guys in the ophthalmic technology equipment market. One of their new machines, which came out in 2019, I think, is the first ever machine which records a digital gonioscopy image, as opposed to getting the image by hand with a prism held close to the patient’s eye. It enables digital image analysis. We are helping to develop automatic software for creating these images, so that is very promising for the field in general. What’s your last message for our readers? I think that people need to show their enthusiasm. I think the single most important asset we have in our community is the people, of course. Cohesion, the collaborative enthusiasm. We live in a time when individuals can do only a little. But, you know, it's particularly in the medical domain that we need groups in order to manage the functional groups. To achieve great things, we need to collaborate. This is my message. This is actually one of the reasons why at RSIP Vision we do all our magazines: to bring people together. Well done! for instance retinal fundus camera, that have become common in optometrist shops in the UK. The resolution in pixel is now so large that there is no point in adding more pixels, as this would simply go below the resolution allowedby the optical system. It doesn't make sense to want many more pixels linearly, because you won't see anything more. You see what you hope your lenses can see at this point. The other thing is a number of instruments appearing. Apart from things which are totally experimental, Iwillmention, for theeyes, autofluorescence, which is becoming slowly established. And the other is OCT angiography. This is fantastic in terms of the plexi of microvessels that it reveals. So those are three instruments, not to mention surgery. The way that people intervene… think of a cataract operation today compared with 20 years ago. Now, it's a totally amazing thing. They go in and the lens is sucked away. And this is critical! In terms of software, there is a
