This inter-disciplinary research work is based on numerous areas with vague overlaps, yet only the three most predominant ones are explained in this section. The first two, broadly model-driven image analysis and image registration, are the subjects to be unified and mutually enrich one another, whereas the third which is MDL is strictly a heuristic technique that has been shown in the past to be the most powerful methodology for solving the similar problems which had been posed. The realisation of MDL is essential although alternatives do exist and are perpetually investigated under AART.
