3D Multi-Modality Medical Image Registration Using Feature Space Clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, 3D voxel-similarity-based (VB) registration algorithms that optimize a feature-space clustering measure are proposed to combine the segmentation and registration process. We present a unifying de nition and a classi cation scheme for existing VB matching criteria and propose a new matching criterion: the entropy of the grey-level scatter-plot. This criterion requires no segmentation or feature extraction and no a priori knowledge of photometric model parameters. The effects of practical implementation issues concerning grey-level resampling, scatter-plot binning, parzen-windowing and resampling frequencies are discussed in detail and evaluated using real world data (CT and MRI).

Utilizing Salient Region Features for 3D Multi-modality Medical Image Registration
Besides common solely intensityor feature-based image registration methods, hybrid approaches make use of two or more image properties. A 3D representation of saliency can be used to automatically locate distinct region features within two 3D images and establish a robust and accurate hybrid registration method. The extracted features contain information about the underlying saliency, the scale...
متن کاملA Novel Subsampling Method for 3D Multimodality Medical Image Registration Based on Mutual Information
Mutual information (MI) is a widely used similarity metric for multimodality image registration. However, it involves an extremely high computational time especially when it is applied to volume images. Moreover, its robustness is affected by existence of local maxima. The multi-resolution pyramid approaches have been proposed to speed up the registration process and increase the accuracy of th...

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...
