IRMA: An Image Registration Meta-algorithm

Evaluating Alternative Algorithms with Multiple Metrics

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 5069))

Abstract

IRMA is a meta-algorithm for image registration (image alignment), evaluating results under multiple metrics using the LONI Pipeline workflow infrastructure, on the LONI/CCB grid computing facility. IRMA manages these results in a model base implemented with PostgreSQL. It permits scientists to catalog the results such as provenance information, and permits subsequent mining — exploring the space of alternatives in an organized fashion and building understanding about individual algorithms, and learn about strengths and weaknesses of algorithms over time.
