Aim: To give the students knowledge of some problems from image analysis, setting up mathematical (statistical) models, and
the use of optimization algorithms to get robust estimates of the parameters in the models.
Contents: After an introduction on the first day, the students work in groups of 2-3 persons. Each group has its own problem
(which the members help to choose and define). The problems are taken from current research at IMM, e.g.

1.Feature matching: Find corresponding 'features' in two images and find the best match, taking into account the camera
optics. Occurs e.g. in stereo vision.
2.Elektrophooresis Gel Matching (used to analyse proteins): Find an optimal distortion of the image of a gel to give a best
match with another. This problem has similarities with 1.
3.Deformable models: Use prior assumptions and observations to find an optimal segmentation. Used to find the fat and
lean parts in images of meat.
