Abstract: Some embodiments include a method, comprising: receiving an image representing a branching structure; determining a starting feature of the branching structure; selecting a subregion of the image based on the starting feature; segmenting the branching structure in the subregion; generating a set of next features based on the segmented branching structure; and for each of the next features, repeating the selecting of the subregion based on the next feature, the segmenting of the branching structure, and the generating of the set of next features.
Abstract: Some embodiments include transmitting a plurality of files from a server to a first client through a first communication link; and transmitting the plurality of files from the first client to a second client through a second communication link while transmitting at least one of the plurality of files from the server to the first client; wherein the second communication link has at least some bandwidth independent of the first communication link.

Abstract: The invention relates to an image processing device (1) for finding corresponding first and second regions in two image data sets of an object. In a first image data set a source line and in a second image data set a corresponding target line are determined depending on reference regions detectable in both image data sets. A first region in the first image data set is projected onto the source line, thereby dividing the source line into two source sub-lines and defining a source ratio as the ratio of the length of one of the source sub-lines to the length of the entire source line. A second region in the second image data set is then determined such that a projection of the second region onto the target line leads to a corresponding target ratio which is similar to the source ratio.
