Hauptseminar: Advanced Topics in Computer Vision
Nassir Navab, Wolfgang Wein, and Martin Bauer
SWS: 2+0
ECTS: 4 Credits
Time/Location: Thursday, 16:00h to 18:00h Room 02.13.010
The course language is English.
The semiar follows some chapters from the Book
Computer Vision - A Modern Approach by
David A. Forsyth and
Jean Ponce and in the second part focuses on algorithms for (medical) image registration.
In clinical practice medical imaging is a crucial component of a large number of applications. Usually not only one image modality (imaging device) is used but several (like Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Angiography, Ultrasound, or the real patient), providing different kinds of information to physicians. Moreover, medical image data acquired during diagnosis is often used to aid in operations and intraoperative images are revised for follow-up. One of the goals of medical image registration is to merge the different image modalities in order to improve visual judgement for treatment or diagnosis. For instance, injected instruments can be visualized in 3D or tumor positions can be detected, both without opening the patient.
