Registration of the lungs in thoracic CT images is required in many fields of application in medical imaging, for example for motion estimation or analysis of pathology progression. In this paper, we present a feature-based registration approach for lung CT images based on lung surfaces and automatically detected inner-lung landmark pairs. In a first step, an affine pre-registration of surface ...

An automatic mechanism for the selection of image subset of modern and historic images out of a landmark large image set collected from the internet is designed in this paper. This selection depends on the extraction of dominant features using Gabor filtering. These features are selected carefully from a preliminary image set and fed into a neural network as a training set. The mechanism collec...

Locality to other nodes on a peer-to-peer overlay network can be established by means of a set of landmarks shared among the participating nodes. Each node independently collects a set of latency measures to landmark nodes, which are used as a multi-dimensional feature vector. Each peer node uses the feature vector to generate a unique scalar index which is correlated to its topological localit...
