| Jun 15, 2015 at 10:36 | comment | added | Rajesh D | @Willie : There is this thing especially about applied signal processing and computer vision problems is that there is a considerable and non-trivial gap between the problem statement/application name (usually this is physical description of problem) and then the later one being a mathematical formulation of sub problems which could be probably solved by using mathematics. I mean to say, just modeling being allowed doesn't mean that one can ask "I want to do alignment of medical images", as it is just a crude problem statement without any mathematical formulation. | |

In short, while there may be things wrong with the question (mostly having to do with imprecision of the phrasing), a generous interpretation of the question certainly can be about (not necessarily applied) mathematics. I should think the question maybe "too broad" or "unclear", but until it narrows down I cannot justify it being "off-topic". | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 10:27 | comment | added | Willie Wong | In addition, computer vision and pattern theory do have a lot of underlying mathematical theory and have attracted some number of mathematicians. There are especially a lot of recent effort in applying differential/Riemannian/Finlerian geometrical techniques to the classification and similarity and dissimilarity between curves (e.g. this recent review paper of Michor and Mumford) and extension to higher dimensional objects (e.g. this paper).... | |

| Jun 15, 2015 at 6:34 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | if the question is focused onto the most common medical application, image alignment, then there is actually a quite sizable mathematics literature; here is an overview --- siam.org/meetings/op08/Modersitzki.pdf | |

| Jun 14, 2015 at 16:42 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | The question you refer to is not formulated as a mathematical question, and it is not clear to me what the precise question actually is -- "similarity / dissimilarity" of images is neither a standard mathematical term, nor is it defined in the question. To me the question looks like a kind of "fishing expedition". | |
