Taking Measurements From Landmarks In Medical Images [https://b6d43c23c6.imgdist.com/pub/bfra/8g5ux258/6hh/q9y/0bb/XRays.png]

Speaker: Irina Voiculescu

Abstract: Automated analysis of medical scan data revolves around detecting contours or whole features such as organs. Clinicians sometimes make decisions on the basis of other information, such as length or angle measurements. Angles are conventionally determined by points, and detecting key points, also known as landmarks, turns out to be an interesting problem.

Squeamishness warning: beware of xrays of human bones.

When: 5-6PM, Thursday 7th March

Where: Lecture Theatre B, Department of Computer Science 7 Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3QG
