Abstract*: Registration algorithms are one of the essential tools that the
image processing community is providing to radiologists, physicians and
statisticians who work with medical images. These algorithms permit to
register two or more images onto the same system of coordinates. In order to
design a registration algorithm, one needs to specify a way to compare
images. We will demonstrate how one can use simple probabilistic models
together with training data in order to construct relevant dissimilarities
among images leading to effective registration algorithms. We will
demonstrate two applications. First in automatic landmarking of the
hippocampus from MR images. Second, in the registration of diseased organs.

*Short Biography*: Bruno Jedynak received his Ph. D. in Statistics and
Stochastic Models from the University Paris-Sud Orsay in January 1995. He
was then appointed as a research assistant at INRIA Rocquencourt. After
spending the academic year 1996-1997 as a post-doc in the Department of
Statistics at the University of Chicago, he was appointed Maitre de
Conferences at the Universite des Sciences et Technologies de Lille. In
September 2003 he was invited to join the Center for Imaging Science at
Johns Hopkins University (JHU). In 2005, he joined the Department of Applied
Mathematics and Statistics at JHU where he is now Associate Research
Professor.
