Iterative brain tumor retrieval for MR images based on user’s intention model

作者:

Highlights:

• Involve the physician in the retrieval loop (“user-in-the-loop”).

• Model the intention of the user based on the eye-tracking data of him/her collected when inspecting the relevance between different images.

• Define similarity based both on the intention model and image visual features.

• Use visual features as a bridge to transfer eye movement data.

• Continuously improve retrieval performance through iterative feedback.
