the pattern recognition community that multiple classifier systems are generally
superior to single classifiers [27, 83].
Another interesting finding is that both the AVG and the MUL strategies
performed better than the theoretical upper bound of any strategy working with
only a single individual atlas (series labeled “Best SI” in Fig. 11.20). We note that
“Best SI” is the upper bound not only for any method with the best atlas for each
raw image, but also for any possible selection of one atlas for all raw images.
Therefore, it is also the upper bound of the IND strategies, which in our study
can consequently never outperform the AVG or MUL strategies.
