Meeting Minutes
October 12, 2015
1. Attendees:
-
Tom Vercauteren
-
Michael Ebner
2. Discussed Topics:
-
Setting up of workstation: IRTK and BTK works now on it (IRTK only with –cpuFlag since NVIDIA graphics card to old)
-
IRTK of Bernhard Kainz:
-
Tested on two sets of fetal neck images and compared against each other
-
Possible collaboration: BK shared his code on patch-based reconstruction as used in (Kainz et al. 2015) on Imperial College Gitlab.
-
-
UCH fetal MRI session attended the previous week
-
UCL courses and corresponding impact on research project: Module “New Technology Ventures” might be better placed at the following year given the workload of the already chosen modules of Machine Vision and Graphical Models
-
Own registration algorithm:
-
NiftyReg with provided masks is likely to fail on the placenta example without further parameter tweaking
-
FLIRT fails completely on this particular test set
-
Scattered Data Approximation (Shepard’s Method) as suggested in (Vercauteren et al. 2006)
-
3. Action Items:
-
Reconstruction Algorithm: 2D to 3D registration
-
Kainz IRTK: Investigate and apply their code provided at on our fetal images
-
Further reading on
-
2D to 3D registration
-
Scattered Data Reconstruction
-
Optimization techniques
-
-
MICCAI fetal challenge: Assess similarity of fetal images and kidney images to find meaningful indicators suitable for evaluating algorithms applied on both
