26/10/2004 ___________________________________________ Form 10 -Needs to be completed. -Last Sunday was the deadline. http://schestowitz.com/Research/Progress/Forms/Year_2/PDF/form10.pdf http://schestowitz.com/Research/Progress/Forms/Year_2/form10.doc ___________________________________________ Model-Building -Model animation: o A pixel representation and plot representation of shape, intensity and combined model. o Requires a running MATLAB session to be shown. -Delta value: o Experiments tested a range of values. o Best results at Delta=0.001. -Combined model weight: o A correct weight is now chosen by looking at shape variance and intensity variance. -Rapid experiments: o Model construction is illustrated by taking small sets. o Good results take only seconds to obtain. -Data: o Currently, data is being generated with greater variability. o The aim is to get better decomposition by the model. ___________________________________________ Search Method -Finding a correct and unique set of warps. -Appears to be the main challenge. -Integration framework is in the log book. ___________________________________________ Distributed Computing -I am making progress at devising the MATLAB MPI. -It allows the use of multiple processors and that may become crucial in the future. ___________________________________________ Student Talks 2005 -Shelagh has asked everyone to start discussing this with the supervisor. ___________________________________________ Landmark Selection -Finding the correct solution: Yet to be addressed unless otherwise decided. -Needs manual annotation and clear understanding of data structures in the code.
