ABSTRACT:
A manifold learning technique is applied to the problem of discriminating an object boundary between neighboring pixels/voxels in an image. The manifold learning technique is referred to as locality preserving projections. The application is for multi-channel images, which may include registered images/volumes, a time series of images/volumes, images obtained using different pulse sequences or contrast factors, radar and color photographs.
