Non-Rigid Image Registration

چکیده
An important hypothesis of the research reported in this paper is that dynamic space warping (DSW), a dynamic programming (DP) technique (Bellman 1965, Brown 1996), can be effectively used for object matching and for inference of the image registration warping function. For this end, a novel, robust, and efficient method for non-rigid image registration using DSW in the “length–code” domain is developed. Length codes are affine transformation invariant object shape features (Baggs 1996). DSW is utilized to estimate linear, nonlinear, and non-rigid warping (Keogh 2006). The DP algorithm maps length codes in an attempt to identify objects that appear in more than one image and uses their coordinates to register the images.

Image processing methods, which can visualize objects inside the human body, are of special interests. In clinical diagnosis using medical images, integration of useful data from separate images is often desired. The images have to be geometrically aligned for better observation. The procedure of mapping points from the reference image to corresponding points in the floating image is called Ima...
متن کاملCompensation of brain shift during surgery using non-rigid registration of MR and ultrasound images
Background: Surgery and accurate removal of the brain tumor in the operating room and after opening the scalp is one of the major challenges for neurosurgeons due to the removal of skull pressure and displacement and deformation of the brain tissue. This displacement of the brain changes the location of the tumor relative to the MR image taken preoperatively. Methods: This study, which is done...
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...
متن کاملBildverarbeitung für die Medizin 2007 Image Registration with Local Rigidity Constraints
Registration is a technique nowadays commonly used in medical imaging. A drawback of most of the current registration schemes is that all tissue is being considered as non-rigid [1]. Therefore, rigid objects in an image, such as bony structures or surgical instruments, may be transformed non-rigidly. In this paper, we integrate the concept of local rigidity to the FLexible Image Registration To...

متن کاملUsing K-means Clustering and MI for Non-rigid Registration of MRI and CT
Mutual information (MI) based registration methods are susceptible to the variation of the intensity of the image. We present a multi-modality MRI-CT non-rigid registration method by combining Kmeans clustering technique with mutual information. This method makes use of K-means clustering to determine variant bin sizes in CT image. The resulting clustered (labeled) CT image is non-rigidly regis...
