It is the first time {MASM} has been implemented and thus also the first time it has been compared to {ASM}. Both implementations were done in Matlab and the comparison were done on a real case of finding the metacarpals in x-ray images of the left hand. The paper also introduces the idea of using three different regression matrices in {MASM,} which improves both the search range and final convergence of the model." }
