Point set registration[edit]
- ... that point set registration can be used to align MRI scans and CAT scans?

Looks like a bit of an essay and a scary amount of math. Words such as "we" are not encyclopedic. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:01, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I have rephrased all occurrences of "we", even though Wikipedia:Mos#First-person_pronouns states that "The author's we found in scientific writing" is sometimes acceptable. I believe it is better to include a brief derivation of the common techniques used to solve the point set registration problem, and this invariably requires some math. Can you please elaborate what you mean by "looks like a bit of an essay"? Please let me know of any other deficiencies with the article, since the last peer review received no feedback. Thanks! dllu (t,c) 06:51, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
- Statements such as "we must", "we do", etc. Passive voice is preferable. One reads like an essay/how to guide, the other more descriptive. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:16, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

- Almost. Still missing two. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:50, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
- Good eye. I removed 2 more occurrences of "we" and 3 occurrences of "our". dllu (t,c) 16:51, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
Looks good to go now. AGF on offline refs. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:27, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
