Volume Preserving Image Registration

چکیده
In this paper we discuss image registration techniques with a focus on volume preserving constraints. These constraints can reduce the non-uniqueness of the registration problem significantly. Our implementation is based on a constrained optimization formulation. To solve the problem we use a variant of the Sequential Quadratic Programming method. Moreover, we present results on synthetic as well as on real-life data.

A Variational Setting for Volume Constrained Image Registration
We consider image registration, which is the determination of a geometrical transformation between two data sets. In this paper we propose constrained variational methods which aim for controlling the change of area or volume under registration transformation. We prove an existence result, convergence of a finite element method, and present a simple numerical example for volume-preserving regis...
متن کاملAvoiding symmetry-breaking spatial non-uniformity in deformable image registration via a quasi-volume-preserving constraint
The choice of a reference image typically influences the results of deformable image registration, thereby making it asymmetric. This is a consequence of a spatially non-uniform weighting in the cost function integral that leads to general registration inaccuracy. The inhomogeneous integral measure--which is the local volume change in the transformation, thus varying through the course of the r...
متن کاملA Scale Space Method for Volume Preserving Image Registration
Image registration is an inherently ill-posed problem. Therefore one typically aims to provide as much information about the underlying application as possible. In particular for tumor monitoring, volume preservation of the wanted deformation is a central point. Based on [1], we propose a new scale space approach to volume preserving image registration. The main advantage of the new approach is...
متن کاملVolume-preserving correction of non-rigid registrations for the investigation of pleural thickening growth
Pleural thickenings can be assessed using 3D CT-image data. A precise registration in the thickening regions is required for a detailed investigation of the volumetric thickening growth and to algorithmically combine image information from two points in time. For this purpose, a non-rigid registration, utilizing B-spline based deformations, is applied. This kind of deformation is computationall...
متن کاملMass preserving image registration for lung CT
This paper presents a mass preserving image registration algorithm for lung CT images. To account for the local change in lung tissue intensity during the breathing cycle, a tissue appearance model based on the principle of preservation of total lung mass is proposed. This model is incorporated into a standard image registration framework with a composition of a global affine and several free-f...
