Project Description

Objective

  • This project will investigate the use of 3D SIFT-RANK image features for organizing and deriving information from 3D medical image volumes.
  • Technology: invariant feature extraction, descriptor representation.
  • Application domains: registration, segmentation, classification.
  • Image domains: lung CT, brain MR, prostate and brain ultrasound.
  • Clinical use case scenarios: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer.

Approach, Plan

  • Discussion and documentation
  • Algorithms: fast KNN methods, hashing, robust estimation (RANSAC, Hough transform).
  • Mathematical formalisms: probabilistic inference, kernel methods, manifold learning.
