Abstract
The aim of the human neuroscanning project is to build an atlas of the human brain, based on a variety of image modalities in particular histological sections of a prepared brain. Reconstructing essential information out of deformed images is a key problem. We describe a method to correct elastic deformations. Since the method is computational expensive a parallel implementation is presented. The measurements and results shown are performed on a cluster of 48 Pentium II PCs connected via Myrinet.
