Rules

The collection of the data, organization of the event, evaluation of segmentations, and maintenance of this website requires a large effort. We are committed to maintaining this site as a public repository of benchmark results on our test data set in the spirit of cooperative scientific progress. In return, we ask everyone who uses this site to respect the rules below.

The following rules apply to all visitors of this site:

• The content of this site may not be copied or redistributed without explicit permission from the organizers. This also applies to all images contained on the site and any data that can be derived from them.
• We welcome links to this site. You are free to establish a hypertext link to any web page.

The following rules apply to those who register a team and download data:

• The original data sets and associated segmentation data downloaded here, or any data derived from these data sets, must not be given nor redistributed under any circumstances to persons not belonging to the registered team.
• Before the workshop on 20 September 2009, no results using the data downloaded here may be published in any form or submitted for publication elsewhere other than EXACT09.
• After the workshop, you are free to publish results using this data elsewhere.
• In scientific publications (journal publications, conference papers, technical reports, presentations at conferences and meetings, etc.) that use the data from this website, you must cite the evaluation paper that will be presented at the workshop.
  Note: The publication we require you to cite may change in the future. Please check this page before submitting a paper that uses the data from this site.

For a team to participate in the EXACT09 comparative study, further rules apply:

• Each team should submit segmentation results for both training and testing data before the results submission deadline.
• Each team should submit a paper that clearly describes their method before the paper submission deadline.
• When the submission is accepted, at least one of the members should
  • register for the workshop on Pulmonary Image Analysis before the MICCAI early registration deadline of August 1,
  • attend the workshop on Pulmonary Image Analysis and present the paper.
• All teams should allow us to make the results, including the segmented images, publicly available on this site. By uploading results, you automatically allow us to do so. Obviously, teams maintain full ownership of and rights to the method.
