Abstract: A system for establishing a contour of a structure is disclosed. An initialization subsystem (1) is used for initializing an adaptive mesh representing an approximate contour of the structure, the structure being represented at least partly by a first image, and the structure being represented at least partly by a second image. A deforming subsystem (2) is used for deforming the adaptive mesh, based on feature information of the first image and feature information of the second image. The deforming subsystem comprises a force-establishing subsystem (3) for establishing a force acting on at least part of the adaptive mesh, in dependence on the feature information of the first image and the feature information of the second image. A transform-establishing subsystem (4) is used for establishing a coordinate transform reflecting a registration mismatch between the first image, the second image, and the adaptive mesh.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for installing a program code packet onto a device. A processor device of the device receives the program code packet via a first data connection from a device-external data source and forms a checksum value in response to the received program code packet. A controller which differs from the processor device is operated in the device. The controller receives a reference checksum value from a specified device-external update server device via a second data connection, which differs from the first data connection, and the checksum value formed by the processor device from same, and a specified installation procedure for installing the program code packet on the processor device is initiated by the controller in the processor device only in the event that the checksum value and the reference checksum value are identical.
