چکیده
| We present a system for automatic mapping of complex gray-scale images onto each other. The system includes a Neocognitron-like structure for hierarchical feature extraction, a 3D Self Organising Map to determine feature classes for unsupervised training, and algorithmic methods for landmark correspondence and image warping. We present results showing successful registration of MRI brain scans from diierent subjects.

Kohonen Self Organizing for Automatic Identification of Cartographic Objects
Automatic identification and localization of cartographic objects in aerial and satellite images have gained increasing attention in recent years in digital photogrammetry and remote sensing. Although the automatic extraction of man made objects in essence is still an unresolved issue, the man made objects can be extracted from aerial photos and satellite images. Recently, the high-resolution s...
متن کاملA Method for Body Fat Composition Analysis in Abdominal Magnetic Resonance Images Via Self-Organizing Map Neural Network
Introduction: The present study aimed to suggest an unsupervised method for the segmentation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in axial magnetic resonance (MR) images of the abdomen. Materials and Methods: A self-organizing map (SOM) neural network was designed to segment the adipose tissue from other tissues in the MR images. The segmentation of SAT and VA...
متن کاملA multi-scale convolutional neural network for automatic cloud and cloud shadow detection from Gaofen-1 images
The reconstruction of the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow is an important step in pre-processing of high-resolution satellite images. The cloud and cloud shadow automatic segmentation could be the first step in the process of reconstructing the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow. This stage is a remarkable challenge due to the relatively inefficient performanc...
متن کاملAutomatic Landmark Extraction using Self-Organising Maps
A large number of registration techniques rely on manually selected landmark points. A system based on neural principles has been developed to automatically extract landmark types and positional information from magnetic resonance images. A single self-organising map is used to develop the features (landmark types) so that the final landmarks represent statistically significant contour sections...
