Nonrigid morphological image registration & its practical issues
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel variational method to non rigid registration of multi-modal data. A suitable deformation will be determined via the minimization of a morphological, i.e., contrast invariant, matching functional along with an appropriate regularization energy. Here we want to give special focus on the practical issues involving scale-space methods, regularization of the corresponding gradient flow and hyperelastic regularization.

Qian Ma Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Optics and Electronics 5th Laboratory Chengdu 610209, China Abstract. A feature-based, nonrigid image registration method using a Hausdorff distance-based matching measure is presented. The proposed method is robust to outliers and missing features, as no correspondence is established between the features. Utilizing a B-splinebased, nonrigid defo...
متن کاملEntropy-based Image Registration
This thesis investigates the employment of different entropic measures, including Rényi entropy, in the context of image registration. Specifically, we focus on the entropy estimation problem for image registration and provide theoretical and experimental comparisons of two important entropy estimators: the plug-in estimator and minimal entropic graphs. We further develop an image registration ...

متن کاملNonrigid image registration: guest editors' introduction
Image registration is the process of determining correspondence between all points in two or more images of the same scene. Image analysis applications that involve multiple images of a scene often require registration of the images. Nonrigid image registration refers to a class of methods where the images to be registered have geometric differences that cannot be accounted for by similarity (g...
