As part of the MICCAI event taking place this October the Trauma THOMPSON challenge is seeking submissions. 

"The primary goal of The Trauma THOMPSON Challenge is to find the best algorithms for automatic action recognition and prediction using computer vision from first-person view in the medical domain (refer to egocentric datasets of medical procedures). We offer the first egocentric view dataset of life-saving intervention (LSI) procedures with detailed annotations by medical professionals. We have collected over 200 procedure videos with environment, simulator, and type variability. Based on this dataset, the challenge we propose involves multiple tasks to encourage participants across the globe to design impactful algorithms with applications to medicine. The envisioned algorithms include action recognition, action anticipation, procedure recognition, and visual question answering (VQA). "

The initial participation declaration deadline is August 25th. For further details, including submission instructions and a full timeline please visit this link.
