Image registration using robust correlation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have investigated an intensity-based image registration technique using a robust correlation coefficient as a similarity measure. The proposed method has an advantage over the ordinary correlation coefficient since it reduces the effect of “outlier” image intensity values. For the application of image registration to radiotherapy or image-guided surgery, there may be outlier samples due to the presence of the objects such as surgical instruments. We have verified the usefulness of the proposed method by simulation and phantom experiment.

DPML-Risk: An Efficient Algorithm for Image Registration
Targets and objects registration and tracking in a sequence of images play an important role in various areas. One of the methods in image registration is feature-based algorithm which is accomplished in two steps. The first step includes finding features of sensed and reference images. In this step, a scale space is used to reduce the sensitivity of detected features to the scale changes. Afterw...
متن کاملRobust Fuzzy Content Based Regularization Technique in Super Resolution Imaging
Super-resolution (SR) aims to overcome the ill-posed conditions of image acquisition. SR facilitates scene recognition from low-resolution image(s). Generally assumes that high and low resolution images share similar intrinsic geometries. Various approaches have tried to aggregate the informative details of multiple low-resolution images into a high-resolution one. In this paper, we present a n...
متن کاملImage registration using robust M-estimators
In this paper, a method for robust image registration based on M-estimator Correlation Coefficient (MCC) is presented. A real valued correlation mask function is computed using Huber and Tukey’s robust statistics and is used as a similarity measure for registering image windows. The mask function suppresses the influence of outlier points and makes the registration algorithm robust to noisy pix...
