3D craniofacial registration using thin-plate spline transform and cylindrical surface projection

Craniofacial registration is used to establish the point-to-point correspondence in a unified coordinate system among human craniofacial models. It is the foundation of craniofacial reconstruction and other craniofacial statistical analysis research. In this paper, a non-rigid 3D craniofacial registration method using thin-plate spline transform and cylindrical surface projection is proposed. F...

Thin Plate Spline Approximation for Image Registration

The point based registration technique of Book stein can be seen as an interpolation problem With this technique an elastic transformation based on thin plate splines is determinedwhich maps the source and target land marks exactly to each other However in real applications the positions of the landmarks can only be determined ap proximately Therefore in this case an interpolation scheme is ina...

Landmark and Intensity-Based, Consistent Thin-Plate Spline Image Registration

Landmark-based thin-plate spline image registration is one of the most commonly used methods for non-rigid medical image registration and anatomical shape analysis. It is well known that this method does not produce a unique correspondence between two images away from the landmark locations because interchanging the role of source and target landmarks does not produce forward and reverse transf...

Non-rigid Surface Registration Using Spherical Thin-Plate Splines

Accurate registration of cortical structures plays a fundamental role in statistical analysis of brain images across population. This paper presents a novel framework for the non-rigid intersubject brain surface registration, using conformal structure and spherical thin-plate splines. By resorting to the conformal structure, complete characteristics regarding the intrinsic cortical geometry can...
