Voxel similarity based automatic image registration
نویسنده
چکیده
Description: We proposed a fast, fully automatic registration algorithm that is capable of solving unimodality or multimodality registration problems in 2D or 3D. Many similarity measures were proposed in the past decade. We chose the measures based on the mutual information of the images proposed by Collignon et al. and Viola and Wells, and on the normalized mutual information of the images proposed by Studholme et al.

An Algorithm for 3D Registration of Multi-Modality Medical Images by Use of Voxel-Similarity-Based Measures
0. Abstract This report describes work done within a practical training at the Philips Research Laboratories / Technical Systems Hamburg in 1995. My work was concerned with the development and implementation of a completely automatic image registration algorithm that uses a voxel-similarity-based measure as matching criterion. Both singleand multi-modality 3D medical images can be processed. Fu...
متن کاملAutomatic Estimation of Error in Voxel-Based Registration
Image registration driven by similarity measures that are simple functions of voxel intensities is now widely used in medical applications. Validation of registration in general remains an unsolved problem; measurement of registration error usually requires manual intervention. This paper presents a general framework for automatically estimating the scale of spatial registration error. The erro...

This paper develops a framework for research in the eld of multimodality image registration. A certain formal treatment of the registration problem is proposed. We discuss some aspects of the surface and voxel-similarity measures in a context of simulated annealing based optimization.
متن کاملInterpolation Artefacts in Non-rigid Registration
Voxel based non-rigid registration of images involves finding a similarity maximising transformation that deforms a source image to the coordinate system of a target image. In order to do this, interpolation is required to estimate the source intensity values corresponding to transformed target voxels. These interpolated source intensities are used when calculating the similarity measure being ...
متن کاملNon-rigid image registration of brain magnetic resonance images using graph-cuts
We present a graph-cuts basedmethod for non-rigid medical image registration on brain magnetic resonance images. In this paper, the non-rigid medical image registration problem is reformulated as a discrete labeling problem. Based on a voxel-to-voxel intensity similarity measure, each voxel in the source image is assigned a displacement label, which represents a displacement vector indicating w...
