Abstract
The present invention relates to an image processing device () comprising a data input () for receiving volumetric image data comprising a plurality of registered volumetric images of an imaged object, a noise modeler () for generating a noise model indicative of a spatial distribution of noise in each of the plurality of registered volumetric images, a feature detector () for detecting a plurality of image features taking the volumetric image data into account, and a marker generator () for generating a plurality of references indicating feature positions of a subset of the plurality of detected image features, in which said subset corresponds to the detected image features that are classified as difficult to discern on a reference volumetric image in the plurality of registered volumetric images based on a classification and/or a visibility criterium, wherein the classification and/or the visibility criterium takes the or each noise model into account.
