Computer Vision News - July 2022

48 Medical Imaging AI tool Hello everyone, welcome back to Computer Vision News. After a full month dedicated to CVPR, we are coming back with a handful of articles, including a very special one to me. Why special you may ask? Because it’s one that I’ve been wanting to write for a while and a topic I find extremely useful. So, let’s start  Today we are going to talk a bit about Docker, a software framework that helps with packaging and distributing our applications, hence it facilitates the transition between development and production stages, or just the process of sharing our code with other fellow researchers or collaborators. And who does not believe this is as critical as ever in this decade? In the Medical Imaging community, for example, Docker is already used for the MICCAI conference challenges to allow users to upload their code and let it be tested without incurring into hardware issues on the reviewers’ end. This is a typical case study that we are going to focus on in this article. Let’s start with the installation on Linux terminal. Assuming no previous versions of Docker have been installed on the machine and access to the Internet is granted, we can install directly from the Docker’s package repository.
