Integration

-Reading done on integration and its application to landmarks selection.
-The code which computes a weighted covariance matrix is understood, but not how it should be applied to images.
-Carole was sought; questioning by telephone considered too. Discussion and schematics would be helpful.

MIAS IRC Abstract

-Submitted to Jennet (on Monday she said it can still be amended if necessary).
-The abstract is located at:

___________________________________________
Landmark Selection

-Finding the correct solution: Soon to be addressed unless otherwise decided.
-Needs manual annotation and clear understanding of data structures in the code.

Registration

-See sub-set based registration video.

-Experiments performed:
   +Increasing resolution by a factor of 10 (100 to 1,000) results in (just under) 50% more time for registration.
   +Erosion of bumps appears to be slower when image resolution is increased.

Conclusions

-Conclusions were added and described in more detail.

MATLAB Documentation

-Since Ian could not be found, necessary troubleshooting was found in forums. It took no more than an hour to discover (overall time stands at 13 hours). Documentation will be run regularly on the computational server when permission issues are solved.

Other

-Venue of Tuesday meetings: Can this regularly take place at Computer Science?
-Migration of all the research material (thousands of files) and linking is in progress. This is due to project Unity which will change domain names and inevitably break links.
