Two-Step Parameter-Free Elastic Image Registration with Prescribed Point Displacements
نویسندگان
چکیده
A two-step parameter-free approach for non-rigid medical image registration is presented. Displacements of boundary structures are computed in the rst step and then incorporated as hard constraints for elastic image deformation in the second step. In comparison to traditional non-parametric methods, no driving forces have to be computed from image data. The approach guarantees the exact correspondence of certain structures in the images and does not depend on parameters of the deformation model such as elastic constants. Numerical examples with synthetic and real images are presented.

Non-Rigid Image Registration Using a Parameter-Free Elastic Model
The paper presents a new parameter-free approach to non-rigid image registration, where displacements, obtained through a mapping of boundary structures in the source and target image, are incorporated as hard constraints into elastic image deformation. As a consequence, our approach does not contain any parameters of the deformation model (elastic constants). The approach guarantees the exact ...
متن کاملDPML-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 کاملHybrid registration for two-dimensional gel protein images
Image registration technique is fundamental and essential to the accurate and efficient analysis of protein sequence data. But due to the elastic deformations of two-dimensional gel protein eletrophoresis images, their registration still remains a challenge. In this paper, a hybrid 2D gel protein image registration method is proposed. In the first stage of registration, the wavelet-based hierar...
متن کاملBrain Image Registration Based on Cortical Contour Mapping
In this paper we address the problem of brain image registration, and we present a new, nonlinear registration technique. In the first step of our iechnique we obtain a point-to-point mapping between the outer cortical contours of the brain images using an elastic string algorithm. In the second step we register the two images based on the poini-to-point correspondence established in ihe first ...
متن کاملA Semi-Analytical Solution for Free Vibration and Modal Stress Analyses of Circular Plates Resting on Two-Parameter Elastic Foundations
In the present research, free vibration and modal stress analyses of thin circular plates with arbitrary edge conditions, resting on two-parameter elastic foundations are investigated. Both Pasternak and Winkler parameters are adopted to model the elastic foundation. The differential transform method (DTM) is used to solve the eigenvalue equation yielding the natural frequencies and mode shape...
