About
This is the home of the SLASH project. SLASH stands for "Scalable system for Large data Analysis and Segmentation utilizing a Hybrid approach" (yes it's a mouthful) and represents the name of a 3 year grant we submitted in Oct 2010, and were awarded May 2011. This is a joint grant shared between the The National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research (NCMIR) at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and The Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI) at the University of Utah. The aim of the grant is to: "to couple novel automatic algorithms with highly scalable tools for collaboratively refining segmentations" with SCI heading the charge for the development of novel automated algorithms, and NCMIR performing data collection and work on collaborative segmentation system. SLASH is a project spawned from the "NeuroSeg" group, and we still use a "neuroseg" e-mail list (neuralseg@sci.utah.edu), so it's easy to get the two terms confused.
