Brownian Warps: A Least Committed Prior for Non-rigid Registration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Non-rigid registration requires a smoothness or regularization term for making the warp field regular. Standard models in use here include b-splines and thin plate splines. In this paper, we suggest a regularizer which is based on first principles, is symmetric with respect to source and destination, and fulfills a natural semi-group property for warps. We construct the regularizer from a distribution on warps. This distribution arises as the limiting distribution for concatenations of warps just as the Gaussian distribution arises as the limiting distribution for the addition of numbers. Through an Euler-Lagrange formulation, algorithms for obtaining maximum likelihood registrations are constructed. The technique is demonstrated using 2D examples.

Groupwise and Local Analysis of Image Warps
Most non-rigid image registration algorithms are based on aligning pairs of images, but there has been recent interest in groupwise algorithms, which enable the registration of a set of images into a single common frame of reference. The set of deformation fields obtained from such a registration contains information about the variability of structures across the group, meaning that the quantit...

Image processing methods, which can visualize objects inside the human body, are of special interests. In clinical diagnosis using medical images, integration of useful data from separate images is often desired. The images have to be geometrically aligned for better observation. The procedure of mapping points from the reference image to corresponding points in the floating image is called Ima...

متن کاملGroupwise Diffeomorphic Non-rigid Registration for Automatic Model Building
We describe a framework for registering a group of images together using a set of non-linear diffeomorphic warps. The result of the groupwise registration is an implicit definition of dense correspondences between all of the images in a set, which can be used to construct statistical models of shape change across the set, avoiding the need for manual annotation of training images. We give examp...
متن کاملA Variational PDE Based Level Set Method for a Simultaneous Segmentation and Non-rigid Registration
A new variational PDE based level set method for a simultaneous image segmentation and non-rigid registration using prior shape and intensity information is presented. The segmentation is obtained by finding a non-rigid registration to the prior shape. The non-rigid registration consists of both a global rigid transformation and a local non-rigid deformation. In this model, a prior shape is use...
