MIT Researchers Develop AI Tool That Compares 3D Scans
A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have submitted a pair of conference papers describing a machine-learning algorithm that can register brain scans and other 3D images more than 1,000 times more quickly using novel learning techniques. The algorithm works by “learning” while registering thousands of pairs of images and acquiring information during this process about how to align the images and estimating some optimal alignment parameters. After training, the algorithm uses those parameters to map all pixels of one image to another simultaneously. This reduces registration time to a minute or two using a normal computer, or less than a second using a GPU with accuracy similar to state-of-the-art systems. More...26 Jun 2018
